Charlie’s Moment is an intensely, emotional story of a family held hostage by their love for a son caught in the agony of drug abuse and the tragedy that follows. Stevie Thomas’ eighteen-year-old son, Charlie, is missing. It isn’t uncommon for him to disappear for a day or two…hiding out with his drugs, but now he has been gone seven days. Something is wrong…call it Motherly intuition or whatever, she just knows. Afraid to go to the police because of his drugs, she searches for him herself and finds him in a drug house…almost dead from a new drug he tried. Rushing to get him to a hospital, she has a terrible car accident and is hospitalized in a coma. Later when she awakens and asks for her Charlie, she is told he wasn’t in the car with her. Everyone, including her mother, Maggie, believes Stevie is confused due to her coma, but she is positive Charlie was with her and she is positive he is dead…and in heaven…because she saw him there. In her search for her son, she is forced to join forces with her ex, Rick, who she blames for Charlie’s unhappiness and drug use. Who took Charlie from her car and why? Did someone harm him? If he is dead as Stevie believes, where is his body?
