Well this story is based on a couple of actual events that occurred in
Christine who works for the Department of Telephone Exchange, says goodbye to her son Walter and leaves for work. And on returning home, Christine was dysphoric to see that her son was missing. The despairing mother tries to launch a search which seemed to be of no use. And several months later Christine was informed that her son was found alive and a reunion in front of the press is arranged in order to neutralize the criticism of the department.
After seeing the boy, Christine abnegates that he is not her child. Even though the boy claims to be her son, Captain Jones of the juvenile department tries to prove that he is her son presses her to take the boy with her on a trial basis. After bringing the kid back home she identifies that he is 3 inches shorter than Walter and he also been circumcised which she confronts to Jones. He sends a Doctor to visit her who tells Christine that, the boy is shorter because the trauma he has been through over the couple of months has shrunk his spine and the guy who took the had him circumcised. Mean while there is a newspaper article that connotes Christine is unfit to be a mother. One day she meets up with Briegleb, and he says that the story was planted by the department to disrepute her and he also tells her about the corruption prevailing in the department. Mean while Walter's teacher and dentist give Christine signed letters confirming the boy is a shammer.And Christine in a press conference arranged by her tells the truth.Agitated Jones puts her in the Hospital's psychopathic ward. Christine bonds with Carol one of the inmates, who tells Christine that she is one of the several women who were incarcerated for confronting the police. Dr.Steele reckons Christine neurotic and forces her to take pills. And he says he will release if she acknowledges that she was mistaken for Walter which she refuses.
And Detective Ybarra is called to a ranch at Wine Ville to arrange the transportation of 15 year old Clark to
Mean while Gordon is arrested in
Two years later Christine has still not given up her search for Walter and she is informed that Gordon is willing to admit killing Walter on condition Christine meets him before his execution. Gordon refuses to tell whether Walter is killed or not and he is executed the very next day. And Five years later, David one of the boys assumed to have been killed was found alive and after he was interrogated by Ybarra it reveals that David, Walter and another boy escaped but were separated. Thus giving Christine hope that, Walter is still alive.
