"What kind of twisted shit is this? The contradictions, the back-and-forth lies-it's beyond anything I expected to deal with today. And, frankly, I don't get paid enough to wade through this level of dysfunction." - CALEB REED

Detective Caleb Reed's latest case seems straightforward at first: missing four-year-old girl, Bailey Moore. But things take a wicked turn when the parents give two very different stories. The mother insists her daughter disappeared last night, while the father claims she tragically died months ago in a car accident.

As Caleb digs deeper, he finds himself caught between two conflicting realities, unsure who-or what-to believe. This case might not be his most high-profile or challenging on the surface, but it's shaping up to be one of his most bizarre ones.

Someone has to be lying. But who-and how far are they willing to go to keep the truth hidden?

TRIGGER - Slight child abuse in a couple of parts. Not in the current day, but during past reflections.
