In 2002, 17-year-old Emily Jackson vanished in the isolated town of Lockwood, despite an extensive search, the case went cold. Eight years later, in 2010, student journalist Katie Ridley and local filmmaker Jonathan Harrington travelled to Lockwood Lake to investigate the unsolved disappearance and film a documentary. This is that unfinished documentary.

As producer Ellie fights to keep the shoot on track, she's faced with an apathetic director, a melodramatic method actor, a lackadaisical co-star, and a random bystander who ends up part of the crew. With time running out and tensions rising, the production spirals into disorder-until a final mishap brings everything together… sort of.
