This is the tragic case of Steven Stayner and Timmy White, two young boys whose lives were forever changed by a twisted and unimaginable act of abduction.

Set in the quiet town of Merced, California, during the 1970s, Steven Stayner, a 7-year-old boy, vanished without a trace on his way home from school. The desperate search for Steven yielded no leads and left a community gripped with fear and uncertainty. Years went by and Steven was presumed to be lost forever.

However, the shocking truth would eventually come to light. Stayner had been taken by a sadistic predator named Kenneth Parnell, who manipulated and brainwashed the young boy into believing that his family no longer wanted him. For seven agonizing years, Stayner lived a false identity, enduring unimaginable abuse and isolation.

But the story took an unexpected turn when fate intervened. Stayner's abductor, Parnell, targeted another innocent victim, Timmy White, a 5-year-old boy. Steven, now a teenager, made a brave and daring decision that would change both their lives forever. He chose to protect and save Timmy, leading to their eventual rescue and the unraveling of a horrific crime that shocked the nation.
