It’s late 2014 and a young British woman stumbles through the streets of Eckhausen in Germany and collapses. Her name is Alice Webster - and she was abducted from the same town 11 years ago.

Her return sends shock waves through the tight-knit local community, as her family are thrown into turmoil. As the search for the abductor gathers pace, Alice also appears to hold vital clues to the whereabouts of a second missing girl, Sophie Giroux, whose disappearance was investigated back in 2003 by French detective Julien Baptiste.

In present day, Alice’s parents Sam and Gemma are barely speaking, whilst Alice’s brother, Matthew, has become violent and withdrawn. Meanwhile Julien is in Iraq, following a clue that he believes is key to finding the person who abducted the girls.

Alice Webster is played by Abigail Hardingham, Julien Baptiste by Tchéky Karyo, Sam Webster by David Morrissey, Gemma Webster by Keeley Hawes and Matthew Webster by Jake Davies.

After Alice returns to her family home, the Websters struggle to deal with the trauma she has suffered.

As Matthew is faced with an unbearable request, Gemma’s suspicions about what happened to her daughter begin to grow. The Royal Military Police (RMP) and the German police agree to share jurisdiction over the case and launch a manhunt for the second missing girl. During a search of the disused bunker Alice escaped from, Julien discovers a key clue that points the investigation towards a local suspect.

In 2016, war journalist Stefan Andersson is helping Julien make his way to Azwya, across an active war zone. What is Julien doing out in Iraq? And will he make it home unscathed? Meanwhile, back in Eckhausen, Gemma and Sam continue to drift apart, while RMP Staff Sergeant Eve Stone has to deal with her father.

Alice Webster is played by Abigail Hardingham, Matthew Webster by Jake Davies, Gemma Webster by Keeley Hawes, Stefan Andersson by Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julien Baptiste by Tchéky Karyo, Sam Webster by David Morrissey and Eve Stone by Laura Fraser.
