    Plot Outline: A five-part miniseries that revolves around the disappearance of a young mother in a quiet British suburb and the circumstances that leave her children abandoned far from home.
    Plot: The story begins one hot summers day when Leanne Wellings is taking her two young children to visit her grandfather. She stops to buy flowers at a motorway lay-by but then inexplicably vanishes — leaving her two small children waiting for her in her car — lost and far from home. Her two small children then set off to find her only to go missing themselves. Their ordeal is captured on CCTV cameras and before long the family's heart-stopping trauma is not only a complex police investigation but a major national news story.

    Movie Quotes: General Zod: What more do you want? I can see the greed written on your face.

    General Zod: What more?
    Lex Luthor: Cuba.
