Plot
Peter Banning, a workaholic lawyer fixated on success, has a strained relationship with his wife, Moira, and their children, Jack and Maggie, due to his constant absences and broken promises. During Christmas, the family travels to London to visit Moira's grandmother, Wendy Darling, who cared for Peter as an orphan. When Peter loses his temper with the children for interrupting a work call, Moira scolds him, reminding him how fleeting their time with the children is. During a dinner honoring Wendy’s work with orphans, the children stay home with her old friend, Tootles. Returning from the event, Peter and Moira discover the children are missing, with a note left behind signed by Captain James Hook.
