| Opplysninger | A self-described "accidental" children's book author, Stephen, wakes up one Saturday morning in their London apartment. He lets his wife Julie sleep in and takes their three-year-old daughter, Kate, to the market. In the checkout line, Stephen removes her from the shopping cart and looks away for just a few moments as he unloads the groceries. When he turns back, Kate is nowhere to be seen. Initially Stephen remains calm, believing that his daughter could not have strayed far. A sense of panic builds, as his efforts to find Kate prove fruitless. He searches up, down, and around the block but to no avail. Joined by other shoppers and eventually the police, Stephen canvasses the area, but it is as if Kate has simply vanished. Devastated and mortified by his own inattentiveness, Stephen returns home to deliver the tragic news to Julie.
