This is the story, told in simulated reconstruction and interviews, of a loyal and closely-knit family trying to track down Eric after his disappearance, investigating every possible source of information includes law enforcement agencies,, car dealerships, etc. It is also the story of confronting evil in a helpless and hopeless situation.
