      Rachel Jenner è sconvolta e in preda al panico: suo figlio Ben, di soli otto anni, è scomparso, e lei non sa come affrontare questa tragedia. Inoltre, a peggiorare la situazione, ci sono gli obiettivi della stampa e le telecamere delle TV che seguono lo sviluppo del caso e le stanno con il fiato sul collo. È vero, ha commesso una leggerezza: ha perso per un attimo di vista Ben e lui è sparito e ora tutto il Paese pensa che lei sia una madre sprovveduta e vada condannata. Ma cosa è successo veramente in quel tragico pomeriggio? Stretta fra il dramma di aver perso il figlio, le sempre più serrate indagini della polizia e la pubblica gogna dei media, Rachel deve affrontare un’altra agghiacciante realtà: tutto quello che sa di sé e dei suoi cari si rivela una gigantesca bugia. E non c’è più nessuno, nemmeno nella sua famiglia, di cui la donna possa fidarsi. Il tempo stringe e forse il piccolo Ben potrebbe essere ancora salvato, ma l’opinione pubblica ha già deciso. E tu, da che parte starai?
