Plot

“The terrifying events shown in the film A Friend of the Family actually occurred to the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was abducted repeatedly over the course of several years by a seductive, obsessed family “friend.”

The Brobergs, who put their faith, family, and community first, were blindsided by the cunning strategies their neighbour employed to take advantage of their weaknesses, separate them, and turn their daughter against them. What happened next is the story of how their lives were changed forever, and how they managed to keep going.”
