Movie Info

In the middle of a crowded hotel lobby Beth Cappadora looks away for a moment-and in that moment lives every parent's nightmare when her three-year-old son Ben disappears. THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN portrays the joyful and wrenching experiences of Beth and her husband Pat when Ben mysteriously and miraculously reappears nine years later, at the age of twelve, a happily adopted child with no memory of his real parents or of his troubled teenage brother Vincent.
