El principal sospechoso es Ken. Ante la abrumadora evidencia en contra suya, Ken desaparece. Pasan los años y su desesperada familia, que no ha vuelto a saber nada de él, le da por muerto.

      Haley McWaid es la hija adolescente de la que cualquier padre se sentiría orgulloso: una chica responsable, una estudiante aplicada y buena deportista. Por eso, cuando una mañana su madre descubre con sorpresa que no ha dormido en casa, la primera reacción es de extrañeza y la segunda de pánico. El paso del tiempo provoca que la familia se tema lo peor. Casos como el de Haley llaman la atención de la periodista Wendy Tynes, que trabaja en un programa de televisión centrado en localizar por internet a pedófilos, engañarlos y atraparlos con las manos en la masa. El próximo objetivo de Wendy es Dan Mercer, un trabajador social que ayuda a adolescentes con problemas. La rápida emisión del programa que acusa a Dan de pedófilo arruina su vida, a pesar de que él proclama desde un principio su inocencia. Pero tal vez en esta ocasión Wendy se haya precipitado a la hora de actuar, porque los indicios que apuntan a la culpabilidad de Dan son realmente débiles.
