        A 15-year-old Australian girl goes missing and her parents (Pearce and Otto) know immediately that something bad has happened. The police are slow to react.

       Switch to Caroline (Bradley), a mentally disturbed young woman who once babysat the missing girl. Their parents are all friends.

       Switch to the missing girl and what happens.

       Switch to the police hunt.

       Based on a true story, it’s well made with good actors.
