Hoping to find a second home Bill and Kerry drive to the mountains from San Francisco to look at a cabin. To decide whether to make an offer on the cabin, they plan to spend the weekend there. Bill wants to check out the fishing, and while he is gone, Kerry goes for a walk in the woods. When she doesn’t return to the cabin by evening, Bill begins to panic. He walks into the woods where he thinks Kerry might go, and then drives nearby roads until after dark. The local deputy tries to convince him that she is just lost in the woods. But Bill believes she has been kidnapped. He calls his longtime associate to help, and the next few days they spend in an intense investigation and search.
