A mother's near-obsessive devotion to her missing daughter
threatens to destroy more than one family. Megan is the harried but
happy stay-at-home mother of three little girls living in a small
town. Her life implodes when her youngest daughter, Emma,
disappears on her third birthday. Two years later, Megan is
preparing to commemorate Emma's birthday and the anniversary of her
kidnapping, compelled to keep her name alive in the minds of her
community and her family. Her commitment to Emma, however,
borderlines on obsession as she follows the families of little
girls who look like the daughter she lost. Her obsession with
finding Emma has distanced Megan from both friends and family. Her
two older daughters are resentful of her relentless and fruitless
search for their sister, and her husband pleads with her to accept
that Emma is gone so that the family can move on with their lives.
Meanwhile, in the same small town, Jack is beginning to question
his wife's secrecy about their adored granddaughter, Emmie. As
Dottie slips into dementia and becomes increasingly protective over
Emmie, he can't help but wonder if there could be a dark secret
that Dottie is keeping from him. Jack and Megan's worlds finally
intersect at the town carnival, when Megan snaps a photograph of a
little girl on her grandfather's shoulders.
