A teenage girl leaves for work on a Wednesday, early afternoon. She tells her parents she’ll be home for dinner. 6:00 p.m. turns into late night and there’s no sign of her. A neighbor and his wife stop by and offer to help as police are called in. And for months her family is left with no answers … until a break in the case comes and it's clear that even smalltown America is not safe when a sociopath is lurking close by.
