Rhonda stops at a gas station and sees something bizarre unfold before her eyes. A person wearing a rabbit costume snatches a young girl. The scene is so strange that Rhonda barely processes what she's witnessing until it's too late. She sits frozen in her car, doing nothing to help. The guilt eats at her. She decides to join the search for the kidnapper and the missing child. As Rhonda digs deeper into the case, she uncovers connections to another disappearance that has haunted her for years. Her best friend Lizzy vanished long ago, leaving behind only questions and pain. The two cases begin to intertwine in ways Rhonda never expected. The closer she gets to finding the truth about the recent kidnapping, the more she learns about what really happened to Lizzy. Rhonda must confront her past failures and face the possibility that she could have prevented both tragedies.
