2018ril. Una ragazza fa la sua comparsa in una cittadina inglese dicendo di essere Olivia Adams, la bambina svanita nel nulla tredici anni prima. Quando Olivia Adams, a soli sei anni, scomparve dal giardino di casa, la piccola comunità di Stoneridge venne presa dallo sgomento. Come poteva una bambina sparire semplicemente nel nulla? Tredici anni dopo, Olivia è tornata. Si è presentata al bar di sua madre, Sarah, che non ha avuto nemmeno un momento di esitazione nel riconoscere la figlia scomparsa che non ha mai smesso di cercare. La ragazza sostiene di essere stata rapita, ma dice anche che solo di recente i ricordi del passato hanno cominciato a riaffiorare. Alcuni punti del suo racconto, però, rimangono oscuri: dove e come ha vissuto per tutti quegli anni? E che cosa è accaduto esattamente in quel lontano pomeriggio assolato? Eppure c'è qualcuno che non è felice della ricomparsa di Olivia. Perché quando il passato ritorna ci sono segreti che rischiano di essere svelati, dopo essere stati sepolti per molti anni.
2019br. Charlotte Willis aveva solo tredici anni quando i suoi genitori vennero brutalmente assassinati in casa sua, a pochi metri da lei. La piccola Charlotte, infatti, era nascosta dentro una credenza e fu trovata molte ore dopo, traumatizzata. L'assassino non venne mai catturato. Quindici anni dopo, Charlotte è all'altare con suo marito, Seth Chambers. Sono innamorati e tra loro non ci sono ombre. Finalmente ha chiuso con il passato e può vivere la sua nuova vita. Ma trascorsa solo un'ora dal fatidico sì, la sposa scompare nel nulla. Nessuno l'ha vista, nessuno sa dove sia. Solo una cosa è certa: Seth sta per scoprire cose che non avrebbe mai potuto immaginare sulla donna che ama. La loro vita insieme, apparentemente serena, nascondeva in realtà dei segreti che Charlotte si portava dietro da anni. L'incubo sta per cominciare.
