The family was already torn apart when Kelly left a depressing note. Additionally, just before leaving for the concert Kelly and her mother, real estate agent Carol Dennison, had a major brawl. With all that to go on, the police assumed this was just another runaway. Even after all this time, Carol still remains reeling from her daughter's disappearance. To make matters worse, Carol soon gets another nasty blow when she receives a phone call from someone claiming to be Kelly pleading for help. Her former spouse, reporter Guy Dennison is also the victim of a cruel call when someone taunts him about his missing child. As before Carol and Guy do not see eye to eye on the strange calls. However, everything changes when a teenage corpse is found with ties to Kelly. This brings Carol and Guy together working as a team for the first time since their divorce with the goal of finding out what happened to Kelly and, if she is still alive, saving their daughter's life. Any parent with a teenage child, who reads this heart-tearing thriller, will suffer ulcer-level stress every time their son or daughter leaves the house, even to go to school.
