Forbidden from seeing her beloved Jake Thomas, and reeling from the revelation that she's pregnant by one of her attackers, Laura faces her father's desperate attempts to end the pregnancy at any cost. But the shadows deepen when Jesse Helms, one of the men responsible, learns of the child and plots to claim it for his own. \n \n\n \nWith the help of his embittered aunt, Mattie Sperry, Jesse devises a sinister plan: kidnap Laura and force her into captivity, raising the child as his own.
