The icy fingers of the unsettled past seem to follow bitter rivals from childhood. Will the secrets of the past ever be revealed?
An accomplished pianist disappears from her home in the middle of the night, wearing only her nightgown as her children and husband sleep soundly. As with several young women before her, it seems as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
There are no clues as to what happened, and no evidence has been found during the thorough police investigation. Her distraught family is ready to do whatever it takes to bring the loving wife and mother home, alive.
Are private investigators capable of accomplishing what the police cannot?
Only time will tell.
