Thirty years ago, 9-year-old Ludella vanished in the woods. Authorities closed the case after her trail went cold at the river, presuming her dead. Recent rumors of sightings lead to a reopened investigation. Detective Todd Richards questions Ludella's father, Dell, who seems disinterested in the past. Skeptical of Dell's innocence, Todd is determined to uncover the truth.
