Opening Sequence:
A young woman is seen looking out of a window, we see her from behind, and then from the side, allowing us to view her profile. She jumps up before we see a mixture of brief clips showing the girl getting ready...we see her kiss a young man on the cheek before picking up her camera and leaving the house. The voiceover starts as we see more short clips of the young woman walking in an isolated area taking photos of the landscape. We see a shot of her walking past a MISSING poster of a young boy. She soon returns home to find the boy sitting downstairs waiting for her, she leaves her camera on the table and then walks out of the room, quickly pursued by her male counterpart.
Film:
(After the opening sequence), Maggie is confronted by her boyfriend about her "erratic" behaviour, Maggie flies into a rage and becomes very aggressive, she leaves the house before he can stop her. Maggie is gone for two days, and the camera never leaves the house, we only see her boyfriend as he struggles to pass time waiting for her to come back. Finally she returns, behaving as if nothing has changed, she claims the young boy that went missing is still alive and she knows how to find him and how to save him. Driven mad by her absence and his own mental struggles, her boyfriend turns on Maggie and screams at her that she is crazy- he locks her in an upstairs room and only lets her have a run of the house for an hour a day. Maggie continues to claim she can save the boy and screams for him to let her out. Days and days pass while Maggie's partner leaves the house each morning to buy food and a newspaper. He always gives the newspaper to Maggie until one day she screams as the headline informs her the young boy has been found dead. Soon after, police arrive at their home to arrest her boyfriend on suspicion of murdering the boy.
