Welcome to Stanhope – a safe neighbourhood. A place for families.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter Avery unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Avery’s family declare her missing.<\/p>\n

Suddenly Stanhope doesn’t feel so safe. And William isn’t the only one on his street who’s hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery’s neighbours become increasingly unhinged.<\/p>\n

Who took Avery Wooler?<\/p>\n

Nothing will prepare you for the truth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
