Fifteen-year-old Ellie Mack was the golden child-beautiful, brilliant, and destined for Cambridge University. She had fallen in love with Theo Goodman, the most handsome boy in school, and her future seemed limitless. Then one spring morning, while walking to the library, she disappeared without a trace. The investigation was exhaustive-house-to-house searches across five miles, questioning of every known sex offender in Greater London, hundreds of hours of CCTV footage reviewed, television appeals seen by millions. The last confirmed sighting: grainy footage showing Ellie checking her reflection in a car window, adjusting her signature ponytail. Her bedroom remained frozen in time-piggy bank still containing birthday money, toothbrush in the bathroom, school uniform laid out for Monday. After two years of dead ends, police quietly downgraded the search from active to cold case. What had been a normal middle-class family shattered completely. How quickly the petty irritations of everyday life-cat fur on clothes, overflowing bins, teenagers who wouldn't clean their rooms-evaporated, replaced by consuming terror and raw despair. Every morning brought the same gut-wrenching realization: Ellie was still gone. Ten years after Ellie's disappearance, her mother Laurel exists in a half-life. Her marriage to Paul couldn't survive their fundamental difference in processing grief-while he eventually joined a support group and suggested packing away Ellie's things, Laurel couldn't accept what felt like betrayal. Their remaining children scattered faster than they might have otherwise-Jake to Devon where he opened a surf shop, Hanna to a demanding City job that kept her too busy to think about the sister-shaped hole in her life. Laurel fills empty days with a part-time marketing job and weekly visits to her elderly mother who's beginning to forget Ellie ever existed. She constructs activities that give the appearance of normalcy while masking the screaming void within. The police call with devastating news: human remains have been found near Dover-Ellie's rucksack containing her clothes, school supplies, and peculiarly, Hanna's passport. Forensic evidence confirms the worst: partial remains of Ellie, apparently run over by a vehicle, dragged through woodland, and buried in a shallow grave.
