In 1963, a 13-year-old girl vanished without a trace. More than 40 years later, questions surrounding her disappearance and the hunt for the killer resurface when high-profile TV journalist Catherine Heathcote (Juliet Stevenson, "Bend It Like Beckham," “The Politician's Wife”) begins to unravel the mystery. Based on the novel by Val McDermid, the miniseries also stars Greg Wise (“Cranford”). Watch a preview.
