When eight-year-old Grace goes missing from a sweetshop on the way home from school, her mother Emma is plunged into a nightmare. Her family rallies around, but as the police hunt begins, cracks begin to emerge.
What are the secret emails sent between Emmaâs husband and her sister? Why does her mother take so long to join the search? And is Emma really as innocent as she seems?
