Její syn zná pravdu. Co mu brání promluvit? Šestiletý Aiden zmizel při povodni. Jeho tělo se nenašlo a Emma se musela smířit s tím, že svého syna už nikdy neuvidí. O deset let později je připravena založit rodinu s novým partnerem. Aiden se však zjeví jako přízrak z minulosti a zranění na jeho těle vypovídají o tragickém příběhu, který nikdo neuslyší. Chlapec totiž nemluví. Jeho mlčení je pro matku daleko trýznivější, než kdyby se konečně dozvěděla, kdo jejího syna unesl. Emma při ničivé povodni ztratila syna. Tělo šestiletého Aidena však nebylo nikdy nalezeno, takže mladé matce zůstala naděje, že se její dítě jednoho dne vrátí. Aidenovi to trvalo celých deset let. Když se v jejím životě náhle opět zjevil, místo radosti přišlo další trauma. Návrat ztraceného syna Emmě moc klidu nepřidal. Odmítá totiž mluvit a prozradit, kdo jej celu dobu ukrýval a zjevně i týral. Zatímco Aiden usilovně mlčí, jeho matka je odhodlaná zjistit pravdu. S blížícím se termínem porodu to pro ni ovšem není jednoduché. Aiden navíc její snahy bojkotuje a vše nasvědčuje tomu, že po sourozenci, s nímž by se musel dělit o pozornost, netouží. Emma nenalézá útěchu ani u svého partnera a poslední kapkou pro ni je neustálá přítomnost médií, která v jejím rodinném dramatu vidí senzaci.
