A woman lives a normal life with her second husband and her two sons of the first marriage. One day she is caught by her past and the film reveales in flashbacks her stations of life until the day the police found her in her new life: First marriage, alcohol addiction, robberies, prison, escape from prison, search for work, second marriage, fight for the children,... In the end she has not only to fight for her freedom but also for the respect and love of her betrayed children and husband.

Six months pregnant and living in a beat-up tiny mobile home, Wanda LeFauve thinks she has found the solution to her problems when she agrees to meet well-to-do Rachel Luckman and her husband. The childless Luckmans are desperate to raise a baby and Wanda is anxious to find a home for her latest. They strike a deal, but as the birth parents and the potential adoptive parents get to know each other, fundamental differences emerge.

Inspired by the the life of Pulitzer Prize-winning, Miami-based journalist, Edna Buchanan, who investigates the murder of a man with ties to the Miami mafia.

1997 film by Michael Caton-Jones
