Buried tells the gripping story of a missing boy. Teenager Luke Mullen was last seen getting into a car with an older woman. No one can understand why he has disappeared. His father – a former police officer – knows all too well that the longer he is missing, the more likely he is to turn up dead.

A terrifying video emerges. Luke's parents receive an anonymous video showing their son, eyes wide with terror, as a man advances towards him holding a syringe.

It becomes a race against time. DI Tom Thorne recognises a psychopath when he sees one. The scene on the tape chills him to the bone. He knows that a child's life hangs in the balance and that every minute counts...
