Plot: When four-year-old Amanda McCready goes missing without a trace, her desperate aunt and uncle plead with private investigators Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) and Angie Genarro (Michelle Monaghan) to take the case. Patrick and Angie are wary because they know the truth about Amanda's drug-addicted mother Helene (Amy Ryan). As they probe the case, they find themselves on a trail that winds into the dark heart of Boston's Dorchester area and a chain of drug-dealers, ex-cons and child abusers. The case ultimately turns into a professional and personal crisis for them.
