Steps

Alexis will nicht, dass Adam Kirby heiratet. Sie bietet ihr eine lukrative Stellung in Paris an. Kirby lehnt ab. Daraufhin verkündet Alexis, dass Kirbys Mutter ihren Geliebten ermordet hat und sich nun in einem Gefängnis für geistesgestörte Kriminelle befindet.

Fallon's doctors believe her paralysis to be psychosomatic. To prevent her from marrying Adam, Alexis offers Kirby a job in Paris. When the ploy fails, Alexis tells the girl her mother has long been confined to an institution for the criminally insane. Kirby had believed her mother to be dead. Fallon, under the care of physical therapists and a doting family, remains unable to walk--until her child's life is in jeopardy. At a family dinner to celebrate Fallon's recovery, Claudia receives a message containing a family snapshot taken by Matthew. She determines to unravel the mystery behind her tormentors.
