Just after midnight on December 23, 1977, a night flight connecting Istanbul to Paris plummets toward the Swiss Alps, crashing into a snowy mountainside. Within seconds flames engulf the plane, which is filled with holiday travellers. Out of all the passengers, all but one perish. The sole survivor is a three-month-old girl–thrown from the airliner before fire consumes the cabin. But two infants were on board and in 1977, DNA test does no exist. Is “the Miracle Child of Mont Terri” Lyse-Rose or Emilie? The families of both girls, who have nothing in common, step forward to claim the child. 20 years later, a private detective tasked with solving the mystery of the girl known as “Lylie”, is found murdered.
