Three-year-old Noah disappears from a busy Calais shopping centre when his mother Julia and her friend Becky look away for only a moment. At first they think he's simply wandered off - until security cameras reveal a mysterious figure leading him away.
French police launch an urgent search, flooding social media and the news with Noah's image. They have never failed to find a missing child within 48 hours. But as hours turn into days, hope begins to fade.
Stranded in a foreign country and struggling to trust the limited updates they receive, Julia and Becky are forced to confront a terrifying possibility. When a figure from Julia's past appears, they realise Noah's disappearance may be connected to secrets long buried.
