A beloved young correctional officer suddenly goes missing in the sleepy New England town of Muirwood, shaking this tight-knit community to its very core. Tamara Williams, having not even finished unpacking yet as she settled into her new home and a promising new career, has just disappeared without a trace: clocking out from her long shift at the penitentiary one Wednesday night, the 23-year-old sent one final text to her fiancé before getting into her car, never to be seen again. Local law enforcement took to the case with fervor: scouring open fields, questioning anyone and everyone who had contact with her that day, pursuing even the weakest of leads to the ends of the Earth. Yet, after three weeks of constant effort, their efforts turned up nothing, with a sullen sheriff announcing on local news that they were suspending their efforts, as they reach out to surrounding counties for more resources.
Here enters Detective Lara Parsons, a rising star within the NYPD, with several high-profile collars under her belt over her relatively short yet seasoned career. Normally, she wouldn’t waste her time with such small-town matters, deeming them too trivial for an officer of her rank and stature, but with the local sheriff being the brother of her superior, she was ultimately tapped to flex her big city muscles so he could merely save face. Of course, as far as she is concerned, big things happen in big places, and this secluded little town hasn’t the visibility for her to become too invested in tracking down what may just be yet another young woman running away from her problems. But she has a job to do, and with the aid of Officer Angela Romano, a fiery young Latina with a bit more invested in the case than meets the eye, she sets off to track down the whereabouts of the missing prison guard.
Little could these two ladies know that their investigation would soon ruffle the wrong feathers, putting them in a perilous situation the likes of which they most surely would not be able to withstand. They could not predict that they would, slowly but surely, stumble upon something much bigger than she could have ever imagined, eventually opening up a Pandora’s Box of criminal and nefarious acts that would amount to much more than a simple disappearance, and that what fate Tamara has suffered, or even continues to suffer, they will soon suffer themselves. Will they be able to maintain themselves as they are thrust into circumstances beyond their control? Just to what extent will they be pushed far past the brink, immersed in a world that they have sought only to fight as officers of the law, only to be stripped of their fragile authority the moment they weren’t paying close enough attention?
It is only a matter of time before they uncover the truth about the missing correctional officer, and by the time that they do, surely, it will be no laughing matter…or will it?
