Die zwölfjährige Sara Van Peel wird als vermisst gemeldet. Es wird schnell klar, dass Christine – Saras alleinerziehende Mutter – eine Karrierefrau ist, die sich in ihrer knappen Freizeit mehr mit Männerbekanntschaften abgibt als mit ihrer Tochter. Als das Team in Saras Zimmer Dessous-Fotos von ihr findet, fällt der Verdacht schnell auf einen der Ex-Freunde Christines: den fotobegeisterten Karel Dooms. Der hat aber für den fraglichen Zeitraum ein Alibi …
Divorced mother Van Peel, a neglectful workaholic, reports her daughter Sara (9) didn't return from school, where she gets bad grades and is a virtual outcast. Mother spends more time with her boyfriends and didn't even notice sexually provocative pictures for which Sara posed in the living room. A neighbor noticed Sara, like her own daughter, regularly spend time with bachelor fast food restaurant manager Karel Dooms, who always carries a camera and was accused of, never tried for, sexual liberties. Sara's bike is found and linked to trucker Willy and his commercial shipping equipment scam cahoot. Walter can't concentrate as his daughter Lena, whom his ex dumped on him for a week, was caught shoplifting. Nick risks an illegal search in Dooms's doting widow mother's home.
Sara is tien en verdwijnt onderweg naar school. Haar moeder is een drukbezette zakenvrouw met bijzonder weinig tijd voor haar dochter. Twee feiten maken de speurders extra ongerust. Op de kamer van Sara vinden ze pikante foto's van haarzelf. Bovendien blijkt dat Sara al een dag langer vermist is dan oorspronkelijk was gemeld. Zonder Walter in de buurt gaat de Cel helemaal loos.
Sara, uma menina de 10 anos, desapareceu quando ia para a escola. O caso se complica para os rapazes da Unidade de Pessoas Desaparecidas quando descobrem que sua mãe, uma mulher solteira dedicada ao comércio, tem em seu quarto fotos de Sara em poses sexualmente explícitas... Sara estaria sendo escravizada por sua própria mãe, ou tudo é produto de um mal-entendido?
