As the nights get darker and the days get shorter, the worry of local kidnappings, over the past 5 years, hangs over the parents' shoulders of Lockmouth. No bodies have ever been recovered nor have any traces of evidence been found. When another child suddenly disappears, fingers point at a reserved man who spends most of his time watching the neighbourhood from his window. As worried parents become restless over the safety of their children, and the pressure of the media weighs down on the police, they will do anything to convict him.
A rebellious young girl , Ash, sets out to unravel the truth of the disappearances in hope to find the person behind it all. As she pieces together her investigation, she uncovers some dark truths along the way.
You never think something bad will happen to you or someone you know. Amber never thought she would finally move away to a new home with her family. Her parents thought they'd never get a break for the weekend. Neither of them thought Amber would disappear in the middle of the night. Now with the clock ticking and having no idea where she is, Amber is in the fight for her life and is desperate to escape her kidnappers and return home, in one piece and alive. She has no idea if they'll let her go or if even if they'll keep her alive for one more day. All she knows is that she doesn't have time to hope and pray to be saved. She has to take action and fast. Because time is running out and she only has one hope of escape, a hope that can mean her life or her death.
