Charlotte and Stella are two inseparable sisters until one day after a spring walk, Stella mysteriously disappears; simply vanishes. Both their lives torn apart!

Charlotte desperately searches the high street but to no avail only to find out days later about her sister's infidelity. When the police reveal her sister's affair she is saddened to think she didn't know her as well as she thought.

The Police search for the man from Stella's mysterious affair but Charlotte doesn't believe that this new information is linked to Stella's disappearance.

Charlotte is forced to continue with family life never able to believe that Stella has simply run away...

When a suspect is taken in for questioning Charlotte is forced to disclose information that she has kept hidden since childhood. These secrets threaten her marriage and friendships. To what lengths is Charlotte prepared to go to find her sister?

When another woman comes forward to the police revealing her own disturbing secrets Charlotte feels the man in custody will at last be punished but when their evidence is deemed insufficient, Charlotte feels exposing the truth has been for nothing.

Will any of her sacrifices make a difference?

The vanished Stella has fallen into an alternative reality where the family she knew and loved do not exist. The man who calls her mum is a total stranger and her handsome boyfriend senses somehow, she is not the same.

Doctors decide Stella's inability to remember anything must be a bout of amnesia from the accident that they believe she has survived from. As the weeks go by Stella is unsure which reality she belongs to.

When she falls pregnant she hopes that the baby will create a new unity but she is shocked to find her pregnancy is disbelieved. Left alone with the prospect of raising the child she forges new bonds and when these are shattered, will there be any way to recover. Stella is desperately trying to formulate a plan to return to her family but in a world where the people and faces that seem familiar don't recognise her at all.

As the months pass by her bond to her new life increases and she is uncertain where she should live her life. As the baby grows she asks herself if she can give up on her old family. Does she even have a choice.

When the only family who remain question your sanity. Can you allow yourself to give up on the truth?

It asks the question: even if Stella returns, can life ever be the same again?
