It was a normal day in September of 1988 when 19 year old Tara Calico went on her morning bike ride. Other than running a little behind schedule, there was nothing out of the ordinary. But when noon rolled around and Tara failed to come back home, her mother Patty knew that something was horribly wrong.
Nearly a year after her mysterious and sudden disappearance, a polaroid photograph is found in a parking lot in Florida, over 1500 miles away that casts everything in a very sinister light.
