On the eve of her sixty-first birthday, Elizabeth Harte decides to run away from home, where she is living with her daughter and son-in-law. Elizabeth has experienced deep trauma in her life, including the disappearance of her daughter Nina twenty-five years ago, leaving her feeling trapped and lost. She is determined to find her daughter in order to make amends with her past. She soon crosses path with a young autistic girl called April, and it's this relationship, alongside Elizabeth's determination to find Nina, that forges an awakening within her. Meanwhile, disgraced detective Nick is revisiting a series of cold cases for the Irish police. His father worked Nina's case back in the day, and came up empty-handed, and in despair, took his own life. Soon, young women start to go missing and are found murdered, with a pattern emerging.
