I remember it like yesterday...

Kennedy had hung with this group of friends since kindergarten; they were her crew – her real family – the people she could trust for reals. If you could actually trust anyone in Queens, New York.

They were a tight-knit group of misfit kids that no one would have guessed would be such good friends. Everyone underestimated them, but they each knew they would always have each other's back.

There was beautiful Kenny, who loved a good time, solving puzzles, and just chillin'; tall, gorgeous Jayla, with her dark skin was a fashionista of the highest order, always looking her best; Connor, with his muscles, good looks, and sweet personality; small, spicy, and brave Elena who wouldn't think twice about spewing some shit to anyone who needed the lesson; and rounding out the group, the entrepreneurial yet shady Keeky, who knew how to make sure the group had a really good time.

The group of friends gathered almost daily for a smoke and a drink, maybe a little bit of trouble, always sticking together and protecting one another. Each day, Kennedy wondered if Connor would ever be as interested in her as she was in him. She waited for a sign, hoping it would come.

But their world is shattered one day, when one of their own goes missing without a trace.

As the days turn into weeks, the group is forced to confront the possibility that their friend may be gone forever.

Will they find their friend, or will the mystery of their disappearance haunt them forever? What will happen to their little gang as the years go by?

"Missing, No Trace Left – Prequel: Like Yesterday" is the emotional and tense opener to the series "Missing, No Trace Left".

You will understand the meaning of friends to the end.
