1-Hour Serialized Crime Drama
LOGLINE: A Missing Persons detective struggling with PTSD is called off furlough when a boy arrives at her District and pulls her into a human trafficking investigation that seems to hold clues to locating her deceased child’s father.
MISSING PIECES draws on the structure of 19th-Century Sea Novels to craft a modernized reimagining — and much darker — retelling of Treasure Island.
A serialized crime drama about a grieving Missing Persons detective searching for any way to distract herself on the anniversary of her young son’s death, MISSING PIECES is tightly knit, character-driven crime drama that has ripped from the headlines undertones. Its gritty first season layers interconnected stories all leading to a disturbing examination of domestic sex trafficking in the American Midwest.
When a mysterious boy shows up at her police station, the detective thinks she’s found the distraction she’s been searching for. But when the boy refuses to go home with his racketeering godfather, the detective begins peeling back layers of the boy’s — and his family’s — true identity. That not only raises questions from her past, but draws her into an investigation that points to a domestic sex trafficking ring.
