The loss of the five-year-old boy sends shockwaves through the quiet community and awakens a deep-seated protectiveness in Jack. He reflects on his relationship with the child, questioning whether he could have done something to prevent the tragedy.
As he dives into the search, Jack's resourcefulness and determination shine through amid growing fears and suspicions.

Each clue draws him further into a web of intrigue and danger, testing his skills and resolve.
