Pandora - Dora - Condron wakes one morning to discover her 17-year-old daughter, Ellie, has not come home after a party.

The day Ellie disappears, Dora is alone as he husband Eamon has already left for the day in his job as a long-distance lorry driver. So Dora does the usual thing and rings around Ellie's friends...but no one knows where she is. Her panic growing, Dora tries the local hospitals and art college where Ellie is a student - but then the police arrive on her doorstep with the news her daughter's handbag has been discovered dumped in a layby.

So begins Dora's ordeal. Eamon's lack of empathy and concern, Dora realises, is indicative of the state of their marriage, and left on her own, Dora begins to reassess everything she thought she knew about her family and her life. Increasingly isolated and disillusioned with the police investigation, Dora feels her grip on reality slipping as she takes it upon herself to find her daughter - even if it means tearing apart everything and everybody she has ever loved, and taking justice into her own hands.
