A Suburban Psychological Suspense Thriller of Missing Teenagers and Predator Control

When seventeen-year-old Lindsay Marshall vanishes from her locked bedroom without a trace, her mother Kara refuses to accept the police theory that her daughter simply ran away. Driven by maternal instinct, Kara launches her own investigation into the quiet suburban community, uncovering subtle discrepancies in local missing-persons reports.

Teaming up with her neighbor Patrick Shields, Kara discovers a calculating predator who has been secretly stalking neighborhood families and abducting young women. As the kidnapper prepares his final move, Kara and Patrick race against time to track down the predator's hidden lair before Lindsay is lost forever.
