THE NATION IS OBSESSED. WHAT HAPPENED TO SARA?

A MISSING GIRL
On a crisp April morning, Sara Parcell disappears without a trace. No one saw a thing.
A NATIONAL OBSESSION
Desperate, her family agree to take part in a reality TV show following Sara's case. Cameras swarm the house. Viewers tune in. The addiction begins...
A HIDDEN AGENDA
As the show gains traction, what began as a small-town crime becomes a global sensation. Everyone who knew Sara is questioned on camera - but the producers want more. Hungry for twists, they delve deeper into the story - and soon, it takes on a life of its own.
Where is Sara? What do her family know? And how far will any of us go to create a good show?
