Stolen

At the age of twenty-one, Kenny has not overcome the trauma of being kidnapped by a pedophile when he was a child. He vows to find and confront his kidnapper.
Jimmy is nine years old and meets a man named Joe. He gets into Joe’s car and becomes the latest captive.
Joe is a genius, well educated, and has an important job with a government contractor. He has passed numerous security clearances without question. He does not think he is a dangerous person. All he wants is someone to love him, the way any son would love his father.
Kenny describes Joe to an artist friend who draws a remarkable likeness. Kenny turns to the Internet, creates a web page, puts the picture on it, and asks for people to help identify the whereabouts of Joe. He meets someone online who thinks he works with a man who looks a lot like the picture. He agrees to help.
Sue is Jimmy’s mother. When a week passes and Jimmy still isn’t found, she gets actively involved in the search for her son. She initiates a fund-raising campaign to get money for a reward, gets posters printed and distributed. She goes on TV to plead for his return and gives interviews to newspaper reporters.
Kathy is Joe’s ex-wife. She has maintained minimal contact with him over the years. Now that she is getting remarried, she is drawn back into his world again. Her guilty conscience bothers her because she never reported Joe’s fantasies to anyone in authority. The newspapers and television news programs report daily on Jimmy’s disappearance and she begins to wonder if her ex took him.
