Description: Jack and Melissa McGuane are plunged into their worst nightmare when, nine months after bringing their adopted daughter Angelina home, the adoption agency reveals that her biological father - an eighteen-year-old boy - never signed away his parental rights. Now he wants Angelina back and the law's on his side. Worse, the boy's father is a well-connected federal judge prepared to use the full weight of his influence to make it happen. Jack and Melissa know the boy and his father have no love for Angelina, but what they don't know is why they want her so badly. With 21 days until they are legally compelled to hand her over, just how far outside the law are they prepared to go to find out?
