A young family living off the grid in a rugged part of Northern California in late 1977. The mother and her two toddlers set out to do a host of errands never to return. Nobody in the city of Eureka saw the family complete their errands, but when the vehicle is later found, there's evidence that they did. The mystery of this finding causes rumors to swirl in the tiny community. Did the family get lost and succumb to the elements? Was the mother and her two children fleeing from troubles at home and looking to start a new life? Or were they the victims of foul play.
