Young women have gone missing and unmissed, until the wrong one disappears. The tranquility of tiny Anderson Montana is once again shattered when pampered Stacey Nichols disappears after a quarrel with her boyfriend. Clues are few and flimsy, but newly hired deputy, Birdie Bradshaw, has more than a professional interest in the case. Digging through old records, she uncovers evidence of similar disappearances going back decades. While a battered Stacey plots ways to escape her abusive abductor, Anderson deputies struggle to unravel the mystery of her disappearance. Sheriff Peter Elliott faces a ticking clock, self-doubt, and bad press in his race to find Stacey before it's too late.
