38-year-old Rebecca Barlow drops her four-year-old son off at parents' house, promising to return by five.

Five comes and goes.

Then six.

Then seven.

Worried, Rebecca's parents try calling. She doesn't answer, and her friends haven't heard from her either. It seems no one has. As concern mounts, Rebecca's father drives to the lake house where she's been staying. Her car is spotted in the driveway, and inside, her purse is found on the kitchen table.

Rebecca is nowhere in sight...

The following morning brings a grisly discovery when Rebecca's body is found floating in the lake.

Was her death an unfortunate accident, or is something far more sinister at play, something that will shake her family to their very core?
