After seven years, the girl in the basement has become a ghost to the rest of the world. When she finally escapes, every trace of who she used to be is gone: her home, her family, and even herself.

Joe and Tessa Holland are a young wealthy couple with no intent on ever having kids. But when their niece, Lizzie, is found trapped in a basement with another girl three months after her disappearance, they find themselves caring for a teenage girl they know nothing about.

Together, Joe and Tessa help the girl from the basement navigate the world that forgot her. But Lizzie's father's status as a star musician in Hollywood and his fame makes finding normalcy even trickier for her. Between the media circus surrounding her and Lizzie's escape, her fear of the unknown, and a traitor in their midst selling information about her life and whereabouts to the tabloids, she struggles to accept her identity and cope with her so-called "freedom."
