Je možné zabránit vraždě, která se už stala? Je půlnoc, Svátek Všech svatých, a Jennie netrpělivě vyhlíží svého osmnáctiletého syna Todda, který měl být dávno doma. Když se však Todd konečně vynoří ze tmy, stane se Jennie svědkem něčeho hrůzného – z panoramatického okna vidí, jak její bezproblémový, intelektuálně založený vtipálek ubodá úplně neznámého muže. Jennie netuší, kdo je oběť, ani proč Todd spáchal tak strašlivý zločin. Ví jen, že její a Toddův život je v troskách. Todda zatkne policie a Jennie nad ránem vyčerpáním usne. A když se probudí je včera. K vraždě ještě nedošlo a ona si uvědomí, že jí může zabránit. Každé další ráno se pak vrací hlouběji a hlouběji do minulosti a postupně jí dochází, že pokud chce celou tu záhadu rozlousknout a syna zachránit, musí dojít až k nejhlubším kořenům Toddova zločinu.

Joanna je šťastně vdaná, ale i po třicítce se stále tak trochu hledá, vyhýbá se zodpovědnosti a nerada se rozhoduje.

V baru je však začne obtěžovat jakýsi muž, a protože ho Joanna nedokáže rázně odmítnout, raději z podniku samy odejdou. Cestou domů však za sebou Joanna zaslechne kroky a je si téměř jistá, že je to onen muž z baru – navíc má stejné červené tenisky. A tak ho Joanna překvapí, v pudu sebezáchovy do něj strčí a on spadne z mokrých schodů… A pak to Joanně dojde – pod schody v liduprázdné uličce leží bezvládné tělo muže s tváří v kaluži vody a to, jak se ona sama teď zachová, změní její život. Zavolá pomoc a ponese následky? Uteče, protože to byla sebeobrana, a byla tak v právu? A je to vlastně ten muž, co ji obtěžoval?

Jeho zbraňou nie je pištoľ ani nôž, ale jej najtemnejšie tajomstvo. Nie každý, kto je nezvestný, by mal byť nájdený. Lebo ak ho nájdu, všetko je stratené. Dvadsaťdvaročná Olivia zmizla bez stopy. Naposledy ju zachytili pouličné kamery, ako vchádza do slepej uličky, odkiaľ sa už nevrátila. Detektívka Julia Dayová našla počas dvadsaťročnej praxe takmer každého nezvestného. Má bohaté skúsenosti so zúfalými rodinami zmiznutých, uvedomuje si neúprosne plynúci čas po ich zmiznutí a navyše ju práca oberá o chvíle s dcérou a manželom. Jej povolanie si vyberá svoju daň, no to ešte netuší, ako veľmi sa jej života dotkne najnovší prípad Olivie. Únosca má totiž niečo, s čím nepočítala. Nie je to zbraň, je to tajomstvo. Jej najtemnejšie tajomstvo. Bezpečnosť Juliinej rodiny závisí od jedinej veci: nesmie zistiť, čo sa stalo s Oliviou – a navyše musí z jej vraždy obviniť niekoho iného. Pokiaľ by Oliviu predsa len našla, prišla by o všetko.
