She's never played a game like this before...

Two years ago, Sara's husband left for the gym one morning...and never came back.

His car was found. He wasn't.

Unbelievably, the police report said, "No foul play suspected." There were a few unreliable sightings over the following months, but little else.

Now, on the last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time.

And the note under her windshield wiper asks one cryptic question: Are you ready to play the game?
