There's No Cure for Impossible

Selena had long realized her old school friend Mila was quite a toxic character and was becoming increasingly worse.   When two incidents that can't be ignored take place in a row, Selena decides she has no choice but to write Mila off, once and for all.  Yet when, months later, Mila goes so far as to kidnap a baby girl to pretend it's her own child, done as a way of trying to hold on to one of her inappropriate boyfriends, Selena, now working at a television news station, fears she's going to be found out and exposed as an old friend of Mila's.  She wants nothing more than to remain uninvolved, but of course, that doesn't work.  Then the situation explodes in a whole different direction, Mila is dead, and the baby is nowhere to be found.  Or is she?
