You're driving home from work to your husband and children.
Suddenly a woman is front of your car. She's being attacked.
You call the police and they tell you to stay in the car.
But what if you got out to help? What might the consequences be?
You save the woman, but the attacker takes your handbag. And your car.
And then, the next day, when you think it's all over, your husband disappears.
He's gone without a trace.
And then he texts you. I'm sorry.
But is it really him?
Nothing could have prepared you for what happens next...
