In the wake of Alex Boyd's disappearance, sisters Theresa and Helen, social pillars within the community, struggle to hold their lives and their families together.

Theresa and Helen are trying to piece together the kids' conflicting accounts of Alex's disappearance when the news arrives that a body has been found.

Panic is rising as the police make their first arrest based on the false information Theresa knowingly provided.

Theresa tries to push her intrusive thoughts about Ben's behavior and Alex's death to one side as the family waits anxiously for an update on David. Feeling the eyes of the community upon her, she returns to an unsettled home, and to a family that is running out of patience. The events of the past week have taken their toll on her relationships with Fraser and the kids, and there is a growing tension between her and her sister.
