When teenager Nell vanishes without a trace, her father Jim is consumed by a relentless quest to find her. As the police investigation stalls, Jim launches his own determined hunt, scouring the backroads and rural hideaways of the Pacific Northwest. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more the mystery deepens - and the more Jim's own past comes back to haunt him. In a race against time, can he uncover what happened to Nell before it's too late?
