It was meant to be the perfect family trip at a house by a lake, miles from anywhere… until five-year old Gus disappears. Did he wander off into the empty fields? Or was he taken by someone close to home?

The mother: I never wanted to come on this trip but my sweet son Gus is so excited to see his cousins. My ex-husband Kyle is here, and his new fiancé. We’re all playing happy families until my beautiful little boy goes missing. My heart is broken. And the accusations start…

The new fiancée: I carefully apply my lipstick, ready to make the perfect impression. My husband-to-be thinks I’m excited to be a stepmother. But when I watch him with Gus, the darkest part of my heart wishes it was just the two of us – that Gus didn’t exist.

The uncle: My wife and teenage daughters think we’re in the middle of nowhere to spend time with our extended family, but I know why we’re really here. And I’m not the only one with secrets. Then Gus goes missing. We’re all exposed. And I don’t know who will survive the truth coming out…
