A three-year-old boy disappears during his mother's high school reunion. Nine years later, by chance, he turns up in the town in which the family has just relocated.

What's left behind the scenes

Initially, the ending was different, but audiences at preview screenings found it too bleak. The filmed finale followed the plot of the novel upon which the movie was based, and was the preferred version of lead actress Michelle Pfeiffer; however, the studio dismissed all objections and ordered a happy ending.
