What is The Stolen Girl all about?
The Stolen Girl's story begins with Elisa Blix letting her daughter go over for a playdate at her new friend Josie's house. Josie's mother, Rebecca, keeps convincing Elisa to let her daughter stay for a sleepover, which she agrees to, after visiting their place and exchanging numbers. Things take a quick turn as Lucia never returns home the next day since Rebecca disappears with the two kids.
