When Jodie Roberts goes missing from a sleepy Dorset village, the repercussions that reverberate through the small community are as far-reaching as they are devastating.

It seems that her loving family is about to be torn apart. For Henry, Rachel's neighbour, Jodie's disappearance is also deeply traumatic. Feelings of guilt, loneliness and grief are brought to the surface and he struggles to cope with painful memories. Will she turn up safe and sound or will she be one of the unlucky ones? Those runaways who don't turn up unscathed.
