On October 14, 1987, 18-month-old Jessica McClure fell into a well while playing in a relative's backyard in Midland, Texas. A captivated nation watched on live television while rescuers worked around the clock for 58 hours to save her. The tense and dramatic twists in the crisis were a unifying event for Americans as the fears and jubilation of one family where shared by people across the country. Director Mark Bone reveals the even more surprising, frightening, and complicated story of what happened to 'Baby Jessica' during her long wait in that well, and explores the impact of her ordeal on her community and her rescuers, particularly after the cameras left town.
