A warm summer Saturday. Fun Park. David Harwood is happy to spend quality time with his wife Jan and their four-year-old son. But what starts as a pleasant family trip turns into a nightmare after an inexplicable disappearance. The frantic search only leads to an even more shocking and harrowing turn of events. Until this terrifying moment, David Harwood is just a small-town reporter who needs a break. His paper, the Promise Falls Standard, is struggling to survive. Then he gets a lead that could be the answer to his prayers: a potential scandal involving a controversial development project on the outskirts of this picturesque upstate New York town. It's a done deal, sure to sell papers and help turn the Standard's fortunes around, but oddly enough, David's editors keep shooting it down. Why? That's a question no longer at the top of David's list. All he cares about now is restoring his family. Desperate for any leads, David dives into his own investigation—and a web of lies and deception. Because with each new piece of evidence that he uncovers, David finds more questions - and gets closer and closer to the shocking truth.
