The Collins Boy is set in 1928 Los Angeles when corruption of the LAPD is at its boiling point, and a mother’s son goes missing. The story gains national attention, and the pressure to find the boy grows palpable. Five months later, the son returns home to Christine—only, Christine is convinced immediately the boy is not her son.
