Television producer Laurie Moran has spent her career solving cold cases on-screen. But her next case takes place away from the glare of the spotlights... and the missing person is a member of her growing family. Laurie is just days away from her midsummer wedding when her fiancé's nephew, seven-year-old Johnny, vanishes from the beach. Witnesses spotted Johnny playing in the water and collecting shells, but no one remembers seeing him alter the morning. Perhaps he got distracted and wandered off. When Johnny's bodyboard washes up on shore, everyone realises that the worst could have happened. The answers to Johnny's disappearance may lie in Laurie's own past and the dock is ticking.
