Every mother's nightmare hits home for private investigator Abby Maxon.

Abby's hired by an old college friend to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl. A pretty girl the exact same age as Abby's fifteen-year-old daughter.

The missing girl had been playing a dangerous game of "let's pretend" over the Internet with someone she'd never met. Her disappearance shatters an innocent family and plunges Abby into a deadly scheme of payback and revenge.
