Although exhausted from working on her crime drama, Jane Sadler must leave her sleeping daughter, Lake, to brainstorm rewrites in her converted office behind her house. Six hours later, she returns to the house, only to discover it locked and Lake missing. Both Jane and her sister, Ali, suspect that Jane's ex-husband, Pete, has taken Lake. Jane immerses herself in her series, expecting Lake to be found soon. However, Pete has an alibi, Jane's assistant, Casey, despite Casey leaving him early within the timeframe of Lake's disappearance. Lake is then seen being read a bedtime story by an unknown man.
