The Disappearance

The Sullivan family, Luke (Aden Young), Helen (Camille Sullivan), Henry (Peter Coyote) Catherine (Joanne Kelly) gets together to discuss an odd school project that Anthony (Michael Riendeau) presented to his class. The day after this animated conversation, Henry, Anthony’s grandfather, organizes a treasure hunt for his grandson’s 10th birthday, a treasure hunt from which Anthony would not return.

Anthony has now been missing for two years. After having seen posters featuring a new picture of Anthony, witnesses tell Luke and Helen they are sure they’ve seen him. With renewed hope, Luke and Helen set off on their own to look for their son. Henry remains obsessed by the Paulownia Tomentosa leaf that Anthony left in the pool two years earlier. Susan (Micheline Lanctôt) and Charles (Kevin Parent) make a mysterious discovery in the park; the investigation into Anthony’s disappearance is reopened.

Luke and Helen continue looking for suspects connected to Henry’s former work. Helen is prepared to do anything to get information that will lead her to her son. At the risk of derailing the investigation and despite Susan’s warnings, Henry continues his own search on the sly. Catherine finds comfort in a terminal patient.

Susan and Charles focus their investigation on one suspect: Stephen Price (Sean Devine). Wanting to pursue his own search but stuck in the hospital, Henry seeks advice from Fred (Neil Napier), Catherine’s patient. Helen is faced with difficult choices. Luke is now convinced that Anthony’s disappearance is connected to his father’s past. The discovery of a new clue becomes a turning point in the investigation.

Henry asks Fred for help in decoding the clues left by Anthony’s abductor. Though the noose is tightening around Stephen Price, Luke and Helen continue to believe that their son’s disappearance is related to Henry’s past. Catherine is troubled by Fred’s imminent death. Susan makes an important discovery and issues an Amber Alert.

The mystery behind the disappearance is nearly unravelled; the police and the Sullivan family are in a race against the clock to find Anthony alive.
