Drama

During a family camping trip in Australia’s remote outback, a baby vanishes from a tent and the mother insists a wild animal took her. With no body found, investigations and public inquests spiral into a national spectacle, and suspicion shifts toward the grieving parents as they face a high-profile court case and relentless scrutiny.
