The disappearance of a woman and her two children sets off a media frenzy and a frustrating police investigation that takes unexpected turns on five pivotal days in this gripping five-part HBO Films miniseries.

By the time police have been notified, the two children have also disappeared, triggering a desperate search led by Detective Iain Barclay and his sergeant, Amy Foster. As night falls, Leanne's husband Matt waits at home for news with his teenage stepdaughter Tanya, while Leanne's parents, John and Barbara, struggle to come to terms with the day's shocking events. The next day, Matt awakens to news of a discovery from a stranger named Sarah Wheeler, as well as a lead to a loner named Kyle Betts, whose mother Hazel works at the home where Vic lives.
