Premise

When Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) goes to pick up her young son Milo (Duke McCloud) from his first playdate with a boy, Jacob (Tayden Jax Ryan) at his new school, the woman who answers the door has never seen or heard of either Marissa or her son—beginning every parent's worst nightmare. As Marissa and her husband Peter (Jake Lacy) begin a desperate search for their son, their family starts to come apart at the seams. With new friend Jenny Kaminski (Dakota Fanning), the only person that Marissa can count on, the two women form a close and unlikely alliance. Together they hunt for Milo, uncovering deep family secrets that alter the course of both their lives forever. Charged with finding Milo and bringing the kidnappers to justice, Detective Alcaras (Michael Peña) unravels the complex and frightening web of deception and lies that has ensnared both the Irvine and Kaminski families, but his moral code is stretched to breaking point.

In Chicago, Marissa Irvine arrives to pick up her son Milo from a playdate with classmate Jacob Kaminski. Esther, the homeowner, explains that she must have the wrong address; the phone number used to arrange the playdate has been disconnected, and they discover Jacob is with another parent, Sarah Larsen. Marissa finds the real number for Jacob's mother, Jenny, who never arranged the playdate. Rushing home, Marissa and her husband Peter confirm that Milo is missing. Detectives Alcaras and Greco lead the search, as the wealthy Irvines assume Milo was taken for ransom, comforted by Peter's younger siblings Lia and Brian, and Marissa's friend and business partner Colin. Their nanny, Ana Garcia, is cleared of suspicion, while the Kaminskis' missing nanny, Carrie Finch, is discovered to have picked up Milo from school. Having bonded with Marissa as a fellow working mother, Jenny ignores the warnings of Sarah and other parents and arrives to support her friend. Twenty-seven days later, the detectives' investigation now includes murder.
2Episode 2Minkie SpiroMegan GallagherNovember 6, 2025 (2025-11-06)November 14, 2025
On Day 2 of Milo's disappearance, Jenny and her husband Richie learn that "Carrie" faked her identity in order to be hired. Jenny comforts Marissa as the Irvines work to publicize Milo's abduction, but their press conference spirals out of control when reporters accuse the couple of staging the kidnapping. Peter admits he tried to bribe a reporter to kill the story, and Marissa realizes he lied about a work trip, accusing him of an affair with Carrie. He explains that he was exploring an experimental surgery for Brian, who struggles with a painful disability after a childhood accident caused by Lia, who is now a recovering drug addict. Noting that Peter financially supports both his siblings, the detectives deduce that Carrie is not working alone. Ana lies to conceal her friendship with Carrie, but Jenny and Marissa discover matching credit card charges, revealing the nannies spent time together. Carrie is keeping Milo in hiding at a rented lake home, where she disguises herself and waits for her accomplice.

Ana explains to the Irvines and the police that she became friends with Carrie, who took an unusual interest in Milo. At the Chicago Marathon weeks earlier, she and Milo were approached by Carrie, who had a suspicious argument with an unknown man. Jenny, a marketing executive in the publishing industry, succeeds in signing a major client, but remains deeply frustrated by her unsupportive husband. On Day 3, Peter receives a ransom call from an unidentified man, and prepares a bag full of cash, choosing not to tell Marissa or the police. Their family and friends come together to arrange door-to-door canvassing with a crowd of volunteers, including Esther, but to no avail. Unbeknownst to Marissa, Colin, a recovering gambling addict, has been moving their firm's money around, including Lia's accounts. Combing through social media, Alcaras finds a picture of the man from the marathon.
4Episode 4Minkie SpiroMegan GallagherNovember 6, 2025 (2025-11-06)November 28, 2025
A week earlier, Alcaras is faced with the choice to cover up a rich kid's crime in exchange for getting his developmentally disabled son into an exclusive private school. On Day 4, with the photo of the man from the marathon circulated in the press, Esther comes forward to identify him as Kyle Smit, her former foster son. Kyle was recently released from prison, and his cellmate reveals a visit from Carrie a week before his release. Alcaras and Greco track down Kyle's old workplace, but his former coworker refuses to talk. Alcaras informs Marissa of their findings, and after confiding in her about his own fears as a parent, he tampers with evidence to secure his son's enrollment. On Day 5, a gas station clerk recognizes the photo of Kyle, leading the detectives to find Carrie's empty rental house nearby. They discover blood inside, and a body is pulled from the lake.

The body is identified as Kyle, shot in the back of the head. Milo's favorite toy, lost during Easter vacation before Carrie was hired by the Kaminskis, is found in the lake house. Colin, Lia, and Brian were the only other people at the Irvines' vacation home, and Marissa realizes they lied about leaving the house that day. Brian admits that he was visiting an assisted living facility, hoping for independence from Peter, while Colin reveals that he and Lia have secretly been dating. With a television interview crew soon to arrive, Brian drunkenly confronts his brother, having discovered Peter lied to keep him from pursuing spinal surgery. As the family turn on each other, Peter is caught in another lie, and confesses that he was responsible for Brian's accident but allowed Lia to take the blame, leading to her addiction fueled by lifelong guilt. Lashing out at Peter with her own resentments, Marissa receives a call that a boy is at the police station.
6Episode 6Kate Dennis Phoebe Eclair-Powell November 6, 2025 (2025-11-06)December 12, 2025
Left unharmed in a motel parking lot, Milo is reunited with his parents. Alcaras and Greco determine that he was briefly kept at the motel, where they discover the body of Rob Murphy, Colin's bookie. After the detectives suggest Milo was likely released because a ransom was paid, Marissa discovers Peter's bag of cash, and he admits to receiving the ransom call but no arrangements were made. Standing up to the manipulative Sarah, Jenny discovers Richie has been lying to avoid his parental duties; she confronts him, and asks for a divorce. The detectives interview Rob's ex-wife Irene, Kyle's former coworker, learning that Rob and Irene are the parents of Carrie, whose real name is Josie. With Colin, Lia, and Brian at the Irvines' home, Marissa confronts Colin for his financial malfeasance, and he admits that he relapsed and lost the money gambling. As she accuses him of being involved with the kidnapping, Josie enters the house with a gun.
7Episode 7Kate DennisKam OdedraNovember 6, 2025 (2025-11-06)December 19, 2025
Six years earlier, Josie and Kyle are happily in love but struggling financially, expecting their first child. After Kyle is sent to prison for drug dealing and their infant son is killed in a car accident, Josie falls into a downward spiral, forced to live with the abusive Irene. In the years following, Josie reconnects with Rob, accompanying him as he collects money from delinquent clients. While her father confronts Colin at the Irvines' Easter vacation, Josie meets Milo and discovers they both experience synesthesia, taking his forgotten toy. Obsessed with Milo, Josie is kicked out by Irene and adopts the identity of Carrie Finch to be hired by Jenny, befriending Ana to get close to Milo. After Kyle's release, Josie convinces him to start a new life together with the kidnapped Milo. They enlist Rob's help, but he secretly makes the ransom call to Peter instead; unbeknownst to Josie, he kills Kyle at the lake house. Bringing Milo to Rob's motel, Josie later returns to find him gone and her father dead, with a recording of his murder captured on his phone. Taking her father's gun, Josie arrives at the Irvines' home.
8Episode 8Kate DennisMegan GallagherNovember 6, 2025 (2025-11-06)December 26, 2025
Colin grabs the gun and is fatally shot, and Josie allows Lia to call an ambulance as Marissa sends Brian to comfort Milo. Warning Marissa to protect Milo from Peter, Josie is overpowered and shot dead by Peter, who is forced to reveal the full truth: Six years prior, while driving with her infant son, Josie was in a head-on collision with Peter, Marissa, and their own newborn son, who was killed. Peter switched the two babies, raising Josie's son as Milo, but Josie realized the truth and devised her plan to take him back. Marissa listens to Rob's recording, which reveals that Peter killed him and left a blindfolded Milo to be discovered by the police. Peter convinces her to give him the phone for Milo's sake, and she confides in Jenny, trapped between losing Milo by telling the truth, and the danger Peter poses to them both. At Colin's funeral, Marissa orchestrates Peter's death by allergic reaction, and Lia lies to protect her. Deducing the truth about Milo, Alcaras assures Marissa that the case is closed, with no moral qualms about the outcome. Both free of their husbands, Marissa and Jenny watch their sons play together.
