In the lakeside town of Thornwood Heights, it's the 20th anniversary of the disappearance of Abby Blake which still haunts members of the community. NYPD Police detective Jennifer Riley (Stefanie von Pfetten) catches her suspect trying kidnapped another girl. She gets a call from her troubled sister Lauren Riley from jail. Lauren has been arrested for murder of Victor who has been researching Abby's case. Jennifer was Abby's best friend and has not returned home since being implicated in her disappearance.
It's a Lifetime Harlequin mystery and expectations are low. So it's good to clear the very low bar. It's actually a functional mystery. It would be nice if there are better twists and turns but beggars can't be choosers. von Pfetten is functional as this hardened lead character. It's obvious that the plot should be solving the Abby mystery which leads to Victor's killer. This movie doesn't do that and I wonder if this is the first of a series of stories. It doesn't look like it and that's a headscratcher.
