What is Abducted in the Everglades About?

Abducted in the Everglades follows an Indiana mom, Beverly, who goes searching for her college-aged daughter after she goes missing in Miami during Spring break.

And thank goodness she's a good girl, but it just spoke to me."

The actress further explained, "A mom not wanting to, like, let their child out into the world, and then all of a sudden she goes on spring break, she can't find her, she can't get a hold of her, she can't track her — any mom or father would do anything to save their child. I didn't have to play a character in this movie. It hit home."
