Synopsis/Details
Jake went out to play one day and never came back. His friends, Levar, Damon and Dale swore blind that he had been the victim of an alien abduction. Jake never returned, having apparently vanished into thin air. Dale’s father, a high ranking Colonel utilized large amount of resources on the search whilst the police worked on the theory that an opportunist predator had seized the opportunity to take the boy. After years of searching, the leads eventually went stale and the case became cold. The three friends, although forever connected by the events which transpired on that night, drifted apart. Thirty years pass before they received the news they’d been praying for, Jake has returned. In the years since the disappearance, Dale has become a recluse. All of his time focused on the distribution of a conspiracy magazine. Levar is divorced and teetering on the edge of a break down, on a down word spiral and haunted by voices from that night. Damon has apparently managed to maintain some degree of normality in life, holding down a good job, wife and three kids but behind the facade lies a false marriage and unhappiness. When detective Jonathan Flanagan reopens the investigation, the cracks begin to surface and the friend realize that the deeper they delve into that night, the more they come to realize has been a lie. Along with it, the revitalization that Jake’s return might not be the happy reunion they had once envisioned.
