It is a psychological thriller-drama that explores the devastating consequences of a child's disappearance and its impact on the family, police, and community. The show features James Nesbitt (Cold Feet, The Hobbit) as the lead character Tony Hughes, a desperate father who embarks on a 40-year search for his son after he goes missing while on vacation in France.
