Plot Synopsis

More than 20 years have passed since Alex McPherson last visited Harrington, Pennsylvania, the small town where she used to spend summers as a girl. But following the success of her first true crime podcast, she has returned to Harrington for her next one; to record the case of Gina DeSavio, a childhood friend who disappeared, without a trace, two decades ago. Upon her arrival, she visits the local newspaper office, The Chronicle, where she enlists the reluctant support of editor Drew Goddard in researching the strange disappearance. As baffling as the girl's disappearance was all those years ago, Alex holds firm to the belief that Gina could still be alive. She interviews people who knew Gina, and believes that Courtney Jeffers a waitress working with Gina the night she disappeared, knows more than she is willing to admit. When Courtney dies in a fire, determined to be caused by arson, Alex becomes even more certain that there is a deeper mystery surrounding Gina's disappearance. As Alex and Drew dig deeper, they are convinced that Courtney was murdered because of what she knew about Gina's sudden disappearance. Alex and Drew suspect the involvement of a number of townspeople. While recording each and every step of the search for her podcast, she is not certain she will solve the mystery but she knows for sure that somebody in Harrington does not want Gina DeSavio found, and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her from finding truth, even if that means making Alex their next victim.
