Seven years after Helen Brach vanished, the courts must decide what to do with the fortune she left behind. As lawyers inventory her $20 million estate, new questions arise about what really happened in the days after she disappeared.

Meanwhile, a controversial book reshapes public perception of the case, and troubling details emerge about evidence that may have been destroyed.

Then in 1984, a judge makes a ruling that changes everything: Helen Brach is declared legally dead.

But when two Chicago journalists reopen the investigation for a television documentary, their search leads to disturbing revelations—and a prison inmate who claims he knows what happened to Helen’s body.
