A young girl goes missing when she's left unattended by her alcoholic mother, and the city of Boston becomes outraged. The police chief (Morgan Freeman), whose own daughter had been abducted and murdered several years earlier, leads the investigative team, but the girl's family also hires two young local private detectives (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) to get to the truth. They soon discover that nothing is what it seems. Also with Ed Harris, John Ashton and Amy Ryan. Directed by Ben Affleck. [1:55]
