One winter's morning, 49-year-old George Richardson walks out of his home in Crewe. He tells his wife he is going to the job centre, but instead he vanishes. He has never disappeared before and wouldn't usually leave the house for longer than a few hours. It's the job of Inspector Daryn Wilcox and the team at Crewe Police to find him, but they uncover evidence that he has been secretive about what has going on his life. As time passes, George's family get increasingly frustrated at the perceived lack of action by the police and launch their own search around Crewe. As tensions mount, no-one can find a trace of him anywhere. The family are most concerned that he's not made contact with his youngest daughter Amy. After four days of searching, an alarming revelation escalates the investigation into a high-risk missing rersons case, but can the search helicopter and specialist resources find George before the unthinkable happens?
