Approximately one hundred and fifty thousand children go missing in the U.K. every year. That's one child every three and a half minutes. Seven year-old Natalie Barrett is missing. She was last seen at 3:45 on Friday afternoon, walking from her school. One witness reported seeing an unusual car parked in the road. Police are canvassing the area for evidence. Sarah Jenson is Natalie's teacher. When one of the detectives on the case is mysteriously killed, Sarah sees a connection between the incidents and sets about her own investigation. With suspects stacking up, she is in a race against time to discover the true identity of the perpetrator before Natalie winds up as another statistic. Where were Natalie's parents when they should have been collecting her? Why is Natalie so scared of her Uncle Jimmy? Could a convicted sexual offender from Sarah's past be involved? Children not found within the first seventy-two hours, rarely return home alive. Sarah knows the clock is ticking...
