Anderson, who is betrayed and traverses the world for twenty years, haunted by the memory of her husband and son. Ultimately, Holly finds herself on trial for the murder of another betrayer, only to discover serendipitously that her defense attorney is her long-lost son. Tragically, her son never realizes that his defendant was his mother.
