Synopsis: It is every mother's nightmare: in the middle of a crowded hotel lobby Beth Cappadora (Michelle Pfeiffer) looks away for a moment-- and in that moment her three-year-old son Ben disappears. But THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN is not about the pursuit of Ben's abductors. It is about what happens at the heart of an American family when it is infected by the most devastating of tragedies and what happens to Beth, her husband Pat (Treat Williams) and their troubled teenage son Vincent, the son who stayed behind, when that tragedy is mysteriously and miraculously overturned. Also starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jonathan Jackson.
