She's saved so many lives. But can she save her own daughter?

Social worker Suzanne Walker has spent her life protecting children from abuse. For Suzanne it's not just a job but a duty. Then one of her young wards is found dead. And her own teenage daughter, Teigan, goes missing. Suzanne's cosy life shatters to pieces.

It's like Teigan vanished into thin air. What really happened that day? The question haunts Suzanne, as she recounts the morning leading up to Teigan's disappearance. They'd had a fight. A normal mother-daughter spat. Did Teigan run away?

Detective Sergeant Anthony Clarke takes on the case, and the clues begin to paint a grim picture of events. Why are there traces of blood in the house? Why didn't Suzanne contact the police sooner? It seems like everyone is hiding something.

As the investigation deepens, one thing becomes clear: no matter who you are, the past always catches up with you.
