What happens to a family when a child goes missing?
In a busy street market, Abbie lets go of six-year-old Sarah's hand. She isn't a bad mother, just exhausted. When she turns around, her daughter isn't there.
Six years later, Abbie is in love and getting married. But her fragile peace is constantly threatened—not knowing what happened to Sarah is like living with a curse.
Then she receives a phone call from an unknown number. A man claims to know what happened to Sarah, but if Abbie tells anyone or fails to follow his instructions, she'll never find out. How far will Abbie go to know the truth?
