In 1973, Michaela Madden, a recently widowed mother of 5, was held hostage in her home for 8 hours by 2 men on the run from the police— and was subsequently vilified by her community. When her family revisits the story 50 years later, human compassion and police aggression come into conflict in an exploration of the stories of Kristin Enmark, Patty Hearst and the sexist myth of Stockholm Syndrome.
