bv. Sarah Snook Shatters Hearts and Expectations in a Gripping New Psychological Thriller That No One Saw Coming! It begins with a mother’s scream — and ends with a secret that could destroy everyone. In her most haunting role yet, Sarah Snook (Succession) stars as Marissa, a woman whose son vanishes without a trace, igniting a nightmare that spirals into a maze of lies, guilt, and buried betrayals.

Every neighbor hides something. Every whisper feels like a threat. And as the truth begins to surface, it’s clear that nothing — and no one — is what they seem. Across eight breathtaking episodes, this series tightens its grip until the very last frame, leaving you questioning not just who took the child… but what darkness lies inside us all. Sarah Snook’s performance is magnetic, the twists are merciless, and the emotion is unbearable in the best way. If you think you’re ready for the truth — you’re not.
