...
On a freezing December night in 1963, 13-year-old Alison Carter took her dog for a walk and was never seen again. As the entire country watched, newly-promoted Detective Inspector George Bennett turned up enough evidence to see his suspect hanged and was hailed a hero by the people of Scardale. More than four decades later, the lingering cloud left by the missing body of Alison Carter compels controversial filmmaker Catherine Heathcote to turn her camera to Bennett.
Catherine Heathcote (Juliet Stevenson), a high-flying journalist, is putting the finishing touches to a documentary about the case of schoolgirl Alison Carter, who vanished from her home in 1963 and was never seen again. Her film focuses on DI George Bennett, then a young and ambitious detective, who became closely involved with the case. However, Bennett suddenly withdraws his cooperation and Catherine must travel to the place where it all happened to find out why.
Catherine Heathcote reluctantly starts to fear that DI George Bennett manipulated evidence.
Desperate to end the secrets in Scarsdale, Catherine makes a fateful final visit to the village.
