Summary

• Una vida perfecta puede derrumbarse en cuestión de segundos. Charles y Mary forman un matrimonio que encarna la viva imagen del éxito: él es un próspero hombre de negocios que procede de una familia ilustre de políticos estadounidenses y ella, una cirujana brillante de gran renombre. Sin embargo, su vida de ensueño se ve truncada por la trágica muerte de su hijo mayor en un accidente de esquí. Los padres, atenazados por el dolor y la pena, deciden pasar el verano en Turquía para empezar a reconstruir su vida junto con su hija pequeña Michelle. Pero las que debían ser unas vacaciones idílicas dan un terrible y abrupto giro cuando la niña desaparece. La investigación apunta inicialmente a un secuestro cometido por extremistas islámicos o terroristas kurdos, pero las tensas indagaciones del FBI y la policía turca se ven enturbiadas por pistas que señalan a la trata de mujeres y niñas, a oscuros personajes con antecedentes por pedofilia e incluso a los propios padres
• A perfect life can collapse in a matter of seconds. Charles and Mary have a marriage that embodies the image of success: he is a prosperous businessman who comes from an illustrious family of American politicians and she, a brilliant surgeon of great renown. However, their dream life comes to an abrupt halt with the tragic death of their eldest son in a skiing accident. The parents, stricken with pain and grief, decide to spend the summer in Turkey to start rebuilding their lives along with their young daughter Michelle. But what should have been an idyllic vacation takes a terrible and abrupt turn when the girl disappears. The investigation initially points to a kidnapping committed by Islamic extremists or Kurdish terrorists, but the tense inquiries of the FBI and the Turkish police are clouded by clues pointing to the trafficking of women and girls, dark characters with a history of pedophilia and even the parents themselves
