It isn't that she doesn't love her children. She does. But there is a fortune at stake — a fortune that will assure their. later happiness if she can keep the children a secret from her dying father. So she and her mother hide her darlings away in an unused attic. Just for a little while... Chris, Cathy, Cory and Carrie had perfect lives — until a tragic accident changed everything.
