Ben Dixon’s life will never be the same again after his mother died. He found an old picture album that would reveal a shocking family secret as he was getting ready to sell their old home in Texas.
Ben’s wife Cassandra found the book, which had pictures of Ben as a child. He was looking through the book when he saw a strange picture. Ben, his mother, and an unknown boy who looked a lot like Ben were shown in the shot. There was writing on the back that said “Ben and Ronnie, 1986.”
Ben became interested in the strange boy and resolved to find out the truth about him. He quickly shot down the idea that the boy might be his brother when Cassandra told him she thought so. There was something else going on, though, that he couldn’t shake.
Ben went to the hospital where his mother had given birth to find answers. He found out a shocking truth after getting her medical papers. Because she didn’t have enough money and because Ronnie was born with special needs, his mother had given birth to twins but left one of them behind.
As Ben thought about what had happened, he was filled with strong feelings. He chose to go see Ronnie at the mental health facility where he had been staying. When he got there, he saw something that would change his life for good. Ronnie, his identical twin brother, was lying in bed with hospital equipment all around him.
Ben felt sorry for his brother and knew he had to stay with him. He chose to take Ronnie home with him and care for him with his wife Cassandra. As they made Ronnie a part of their family, Ben couldn’t help but think about his mom’s past and the hard choices she had to make.
Ben understood that his mother’s bad actions were caused by hopelessness and a need to provide for her children. He decided to forgive her and work on getting back in touch with his long-lost brother. Ben knew that their link would never be broken as they started this new journey together.
