A life of feeling under appreciated leads to some critical errors for Hannah, a wife and mother of two children, Janine and Ethan. After 16 years, Lovell and Hannah Hall had a tired marriage that had fallen into complacency. One night, things became heated, words were exchanged and a huge fight ensued. This argument would kick off a series of events that would forever change the lives of this Cambridge family. Hannah would go for a drive the next day to think about her life and marriage. She would disappear.
Lovell would have to deal with the insinuations that he was guilty of her disappearance, while the children would have to learn to live without their mother, wondering where she went and if she would return.
Through Lovell, we learn about his wife and family dynamics as he comes to grips with the unimaginable.
