It tells of the terrifying abduction of Elizabeth Sodi and her sister, actress Laura Zapata at gunpoint in Mexico City. Their younger sister, Thalia, is an international pop star and wife of billionaire music mogul Tommy Mottola. Tragically it was Mottola's fortune that caught the attention of the kidnappers. Held captive and brutalized for three months, Ernestina uses her wits to survive the ordeal, culminating in a thrilling and unforgettable climax.
