In 2004, in the town of Standon, four women friends, Sarah, Abby, Clare and Francesca; and three teenage friends, Stacey, Carmen and Alegra, completely disappeared while visiting the opening of a new exotic dress shop. While Constable Ellie Gray and her partner, Sergeant Maurice Kent, were inspecting an area where an abandoned van was found, a bright flash of light and a shock wave knocked them off their feet. When Maurice stood up, Ellie was missing, nowhere to be found. Fourteen years later, on a freezing night in January, seven women were found half-naked, lying on the icy ground, nearly dead from hypothermia. One of the eight was missing and one was four months pregnant. Only the seven women who had suddenly returned could reveal what had happened during the past fourteen years. This is their story.
