When Anne decides to do her winter break journalism project about a local child gone missing, she expects it to be an easy task. She'll interview the cute cop in charge of the case and write an article. But the more Anne dives into the missing child's story, the more she learns about her own family's secret past. Between navigating a budding romance and chasing the trail of two missing children, one from her past and one from her present- Anne soon ends up over her head. Can she make it out unscathed, or will this winter break prove to be the one that changes her forever?
