The film's focus was on the dedicated and courageous Paula, who was relentless in discovering the truth about a disturbed and lost child name Clara.
Unfortunately, the film was overly unpleasant with Paula's impatient husband and the incompetent authorities from child services. Paula steals the files, and almost instantly grasps both the identity of the child and the name of the perp!
But it was a foolhardy move on the part of Paula to proceed to the home of the monsters without waiting for the police. The film's ending was so choppy that reviewers on this website needed to explain the details just to figure out the plot!
There was also a clumsy flashback montage that awkwardly retold the story from a different perspective.
The filmmakers made it much too difficult for the viewer to read between the chalk lines in the film's climactic sequence. The three stars awarded for this film are due only to the fine performance of the actress playing Paula.
