Britney's father, Sam (Cas Anvar), turns to Kayla's mother Rebecca (Mireille Enos) when his daughter disappears from home. But instead of a shoulder to cry on or a helping hand, Sam faces a twisted cover-up.
Rebecca, Kayla and her father Jay (Peter Sarsgaard) know exactly what's happened to Britney, who Kayla and Jay picked up earlier in the day. After getting out of the car for a toilet break en route to the ballet, Kayla had shoved her off a bridge and into the icy depths of a river.
In an effort to throw investigators off the scent and protect their daughter, Kayla's parents resort to a series of increasingly grim ploys, including framing Sam as an abusive father and subjecting him to brutal violence, before the situation takes a startling and disturbing twist.
