Nineteen-year-old Patty is kidnapped from her apartment by the left-wing radical Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). She spends six weeks in darkness, under constant death threats from her captors. The SLA extorts millions of US dollars from her family. The American public is deeply affected by young Patty's plight. But the real scandal that shakes the nation is the heiress's behavior after her kidnapping: emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged, the millionaire's daughter went so far as to conform that, after her release, she fought alongside the left-wing terrorists.
