The story unfolds

When journalist Gillian Gold vanishes while investigating unexplained lights on a moor, her case is quickly dismissed as mundane. Months later, her archived file arrives with Daniel Hawthorne, an unassuming archivist rebuilding his life after his own wife's disappearance. What begins as a routine task uncovers fragments—notes, tapes, testimonies—suggesting Gillian stumbled into a story authorities preferred to contain. As Daniel retraces her steps through forgotten landscapes and bureaucratic shadows, he becomes entangled in a system where the missing are never truly gone, only unconfirmed.
