Tim is an average guy. He sells cars. He has an ex-wife whos moved in with a man whose moody son spends more time online than he should. Tims girlfriend is turning out to be a bit of a flake. Its not a life without hassles, but nothing will prepare him for the nightmare thats about to begin.\n\nHis daughter, Sydney, has vanished into thin air. At the hotel where she supposedly worked, no one has ever heard of her. Even her closest friends seem to be at a loss. Now, as the days pass without word, Tim must face the fact that not only is Sydney missing, but that he may not have known his daughter as well as he thought.\nAs he retraces Sydneys steps, Tim discovers that the suburban Connecticut town he always thought of as idyllic is anything but. What he doesnt know is that his every move is being watched. There are others who want to find Sydney as much as Tim does. But theyre not planning a welcome-home party.\n\nThe closer Tim comes to the truth, the closer he comes to every parents worst nightmare-- and the kind of evil only a parents love has a chance in hell of stopping.
