In 2002, San Antonio police find Susan McFarland's abandoned vehicle. Soon after, her husband, Richard, files a missing persons report. Police find a stolen SUV across from the McFarland home with blood on the back bumper. The SUV leads police to Rick Clemmer, who has a shady past and a link to Susan. But evidence is found that also links Richard to the SUV - did Clemmer frame Richard? After 53 days of searching, police find Susan's body and tie it to Richard based on circumstantial evidence.
