Product Description ------------------- In 2008, New York mother Tiffany Rubin faced every parent's worst nightmare when her six year old son Kobe vanished into thin air. Upon learning that Kobe had been kipped by his biological her and taken to South Korea, Tiffany seeks the assistance of American Association for Lost Children representative Mark Miller, who guides her through the arduous process of traveling to Korea, and getting Kobe back. .com ---- A mother's nightmare comes to life when a figure from the past kips her child. In this Lifetime movie, Tiffany Rubin (Taraji P. Henson, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), a New York teacher, shares a happy home life with her son, Kobe (Drew Davis), and her husband (David Haydn-Jones), but then she lets Kobe travel to Disneyworld with his Korean-American her, Jeff (Sean Baek). Her mother (Beverly Todd) disapproves of the arrangement, since Jeff has never paid child support, but Tiffany believes her ex-boyfriend has gotten his act together. Her opinion changes when she can't reach him by phone and finds his apartment empty. She seeks help from the , who find that he's taken Kobe to South Korea, after which she contacts the FBI and meets with investigators, but they're either too slow or too expensive. In desperation, she turns to Mark Miller (Lost's Terry O'Quinn, bringing his usual gravitas) from the American Association for Lost Children. Miller recommends that she reach out to other teachers in Korea, which helps to pinpoint Kobe's location, so they take off for Seoul to bring her boy home. If they fail, they risk serious legal consequences. Henson has proven her acting chops in movies like Hustle and Flow, but she's less effective here, at least in the crying scenes, where she overdoes the theatrics (she's more believable when the tide starts to turn). Fortunately, that doesn't make Rubin's ordeal any less significant; and other parents could learn from her experience. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
