The documentary tells the story of a young mother named Sharon Marshall, whose tragic death is followed by the kidnapping of her son, with both events resulting in an open mystery spanning decades. The Netflix project comes after investigative journalist Matt Birkbeck first wrote about Marshall’s story in his novels A Beautiful Child and Finding Sharon, explaining how an ambitious teenager became a mother of two with an abusive husband.
The official synopsis for the film reads: “A young mother’s mysterious death and her son’s subsequent kidnapping blow open a decades-long mystery about the woman’s true identity and the murderous federal fugitive at the centre of it all.”
