A grim, procedural investigation into a mother's desperate search for her missing daughter and the systemic indifference that allowed a serial killer to prey on vulnerable women.

When Mari Gilbert's daughter disappears, police inaction drives her own investigation into the gated Long Island community where Shannan was last seen. Her search brings attention to over a dozen murdered prostitutes.
