"Alternating between Beth's story and Carmel's, newly single mom Beth has one constant, gnawing worry: that her dreamy eight-year-old daughter, Carmel, who has a tendency to wander off, will one day go missing--and then it happens"-- On a Saturday morning thick with fog, single mother Beth takes her daughter Carmel to a local outdoor festival, they get separated in the crowd, and Carmel is gone. Shattered, Beth sets herself on the grim and lonely mission to find her daughter, keeping on relentlessly even as the authorities tell her that Carmel may be gone for good. Carmel, meanwhile, is on a strange and harrowing journey of her own-- to a totally unexpected place that requires her to live by her wits, while trying desperately to keep in her head, at all times, a vision of her mother.
