Where Are the Children?

1 hr 37 mins

Nancy Eldridge lives in Adams Port, a town on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts. She and her husband, Clay Eldridge, who is a realtor, have two kids: 6-year-old Michael and 5-year-old Missy. One of Clay's colleagues at the real estate office is Dorothy Prentiss, who is a friend of the family. On Nancy's birthday, Nancy lets Missy and Michael go outside to play in the back yard, while she takes a shower. After getting out of the shower, Nancy goes outside to find Michael and Missy, and finds one of Missy's red mittens hanging from one of the chains that holds their swing up. Clay and Dorothy arrive at the house, and find Nancy frantic...Michael and Missy have been kidnapped from the back yard. Clay and Nancy call the police. One of the responding officers is Adams Port police chief Ed Coffin, who begins an investigation. Someone sends Lenny Barron, a DJ at local radio station WOMR, information about Nancy's past. It's information about Nancy from when she lived in San Francisco, at a time when her hair was its natural color, and her name was Nancy Holder. Nine years ago, Nancy had two kids named Lisa and Peter, and at the time, Nancy's husband was a college professor named Carl Holder. Peter and Lisa vanished nine years ago, and two weeks after they vanished, their bodies were found washed up on a beach near San Francisco Bay, still covered by the plastic bags that were used to suffocate them. Nancy was wrongfully accused of being the killer. In a controversial trial, Nancy was found guilty, despite the prosecution's shaky case, and Nancy was sentenced to be executed. Carl is believed to have committed suicide a week after the trial ended. Nancy's attorney managed to get her conviction overturned. When Nancy moved to Cape Cod, wanting to get as far away as California as possible, she started dying her hair a different color. Nancy can't be put back on trial, because key witness Rob Legler, an instructor in Carl's biology department at the college, moved to Canada. Without Rob or Carl, the prosecution, which didn't have much of a case to begin with, was left without a case. Clay has known about Nancy's past since before they got married, and he's been supportive of her. Having Michael, Missy, and Clay in her life had begun to help Nancy heal from the horrible pain of losing Lisa and Peter, and the pain of what the system put Nancy through. Nancy is understandably concerned about finding Michael and Missy before they get killed like Peter and Lisa were,. Much to Nancy's shock, when Chief Coffin learns about Nancy's past from Lenny, Chief Coffin turns his focus on Nancy. Solely on the basis of what happened in California, Coffin, in a rush to judgment, wrongfully sees Nancy as a suspect in the disappearances of Missy and Michael. For Nancy, what's happening is the return of an unbearable nightmare that she thought was over. Clay knows that Nancy didn't do anything to any of her kids, and her therapist, Dr. Jonathan Knowles, knows that too. And then there is Courtney Parrish, a strange man who lives in an apartment on the top level of a large house known as the Lookout. Nancy will learn that someone has been watching her for a long time, looking for the right opportunity to take Missy and Michael for his own disturbing purposes...someone who plans to kill Missy and Michael the same way Peter and Lisa were killed. There is one question that everyone will end up seeking the answer to...is the man who took Missy and Michael the same man who killed Peter and Lisa nine years ago?
