The Kidnapping of Arabella

7.6(9)20251h 47m2

Holly spends days at her dead-end job fantasizing about holes in the space-time continuum and wondering where her life went wrong. When she meets Arabella, an eight-year-old rebel hoping to run away from her self-absorbed author father, Holly becomes convinced their meeting is a cosmic sign, and that Arabella is her past self sent back for a second chance. Embarking on an unconventional road trip, these two lost souls might be exactly what the other needs.
