Synopsis

Bellwether was a nice, safe place to live.

Bad things didn’t happen there.

That was until six-year-old Amy Draft went missing.

As the investigation progresses, speculation in the media and the neighborhood turns on Amy’s parents, Alan and Jackie Draft.

But the young girl’s disappearance is not what it seems, and is only a glimpse of what lurks below the community’s perfection.
