Aussie child star, Billy Parsons, on contract with Universal Studios, goes missing in 1965 in Hollywood. Last seen walking alone down North Beaumont, the child vanishes without trace. One witness, Mrs Marjorie Femmer, claims to have spoken to Billy on the fateful day, but no one else saw the child. No further investigation is done by the police and the case is conveniently filed away.<br /> <br />Fifty years later, the case is reopened by the Los Angeles Police Department at the request of the Australian Federal Police and Billy Parsons' family. Why is the ageing Mrs Femmer so reluctant to speak again about the events of that day she saw Billy? Is she hiding some dark secret? Detective Chief Inspector Marty Hislop, along with his trusty assistant, Detective Sergeant Miguel La Paz, commence unravelling a long chain of dark circumstances, and a haunting past of deceit and manipulation is soon unmasked.
