Until recently, 41-year-old Daphna was a promising detective in Tel Aviv. She now finds herself in small-town Afula, dealing with petty crimes, seeking shade from the heat, and deflecting the intrusive question: “How come you don’t have any children?” Daphna’s world is shaken by the sudden disappearance of Orly Elimelech, a captivating army widow known for her beauty and rebellious spirit. Soon enough, a troubling question creeps in: “Why isn’t anybody looking for her?” Fearing the worst, Daphna will stop at nothing to solve the mystery.
