Gone Baby Gone
Everyone wants the truth... until they find it.
Directed by Ben Affleck
Produced by Miramax, The Ladd Company
A morally complex neo-noir mystery about two street-level detectives navigating corruption and complicity in a child abduction case that forces them to confront uncomfortable truths.
When 4 year old Amanda McCready disappears from her home and the police make little headway in solving the case, the girl's aunt, Beatrice McCready hires two private detectives, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. The detectives freely admit that they have little experience with this type of case, but the family wants them for two reasons—they're not cops and they know the tough neighborhood in which they all live.
