The movie THE WRONG CHILD from 2016 revolves around the life of a loving mother, Kerry, who is raising her daughter Emma with all the care and affection possible. However, things take a strange turn when Emma's biological father, her former lover, David, unexpectedly turns up to claim custody of Emma. Despite Kerry's attempts to make David realize that he is making a mistake, he does not budge and forces Kerry to go through the legal procedures, resulting in Emma being taken away from her mother.

Kerry is devastated by her daughter's sudden departure, but soon her life takes an even darker turn when she is forced to confront the reality that her daughter's so-called father is not who he claims to be. David had switched his biological child with Emma and had been raising her for years without anyone noticing. Now, Kerry is struggling to come to terms with the fact that she had been raising the wrong child for so many years and must fight to get her daughter back from David’s twisted schemes.

At the heart of the movie is the bond between a mother and her child. Kerry is willing to do anything to protect her daughter and is willing to go to any depths to ensure that Emma is fine. Vivica A. Fox gives a moving performance as Kerry, portraying her character's heart-wrenching pain and anguish with sensitivity and depth. Gary Daniels as David is equally great, playing a chillingly deceptive character with ease. Tracy Nelson also shines as the lawyer representing Kerry, adding a layer of complexity to the legal proceedings.

The plot of the story is engaging and suspenseful, keeping the audience on its toes throughout. The movie attempts to probe the darker side of human nature, and the theme of deception and betrayal is at the forefront.
