In the fictional small town of 1970’s East Harbor, Connecticut, an abrasive detective Edwin Pearce (early 30’s) finds himself in a complicated investigation when he’s dismissed the case of his wife, Rachel Pearce’s disappearance. Periodic flashbacks reveal that Ed and Rachel’s marriage held more intrigue and scandal in their secret lives that would ultimately be brought to the surface as a result of the investigation. The investigation takes a turn for the desperate once Captain Barry Donaldson looks to Ed as a prime suspect in the kidnapping. Pearce then must resort to rogue tactics as the clock not only ticks for the love of his life, but also his own.
