A respected psychiatrist on the verge of revolutionizing public health, Dr. Mark Besson (Benfield) has his life's work and his family's future secured, especially with the backing of charismatic mayoral favorite, John Gatlin (Jones). But his perfect world is shattered in an instant when his young daughter, Emma, vanishes into thin air during a crowded charity event. As Mark's life spirals into a desperate search, his estranged brother, Pastor Jim (MacFadyen), uncovers a horrifying connection while helping a parishioner find her own missing child. Jim’s investigation pulls back the curtain on a labyrinthine conspiracy preying on the city's most vulnerable. Forced to confront the bitter wounds of their past, the two brothers must unite—a man of science and a man of faith—on a collision course with a depraved underworld. Their relentless hunt for the truth will lead them to the city's darkest corners, where a monstrous evil hides.
