When Joni was 14, her best friend Gracie Darling disappeared during a séance. Some 27 years on, the local kids in a small town get their kicks with a game of 'Playing Gracie Darling' – but the seemingly innocent game turns sinister when another girl disappears. Joni, by then a child psychologist, returns to the town and partners with a police sergeant Jay to uncover the truth, while Gracie's sister Ruth faces a mother's worst nightmare when her own daughter vanishes under hauntingly similar circumstances.
