Sandra and Jason Jones seem like any other couple raising a child. But then Sandra disappears, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter as the only witness – and her handsome, secretive husband is the prime suspect. When Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Jones’s bungalow, she senses something off about the picture of wholesome normality the couple worked so hard to create. With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman, and the media firestorm building, Jason Jones seems more intent on destroying evidence and isolating his daughter than searching for his “beloved” wife. Is the perfect husband trying to hide his guilt – or just trying to hide?
