Lisa has been missing a week, and her parents have been frantically searching for her. When the Detectives arrive at her apartment they find what appears to be all her possessions packed up in boxes as if she was moving, but her wallet and credit cards are still there.

They find out that Lisa had just left her job at the Office of Business Development and was working on trying to get a position with the State Gaming Board, researching gaming in upstate New York. Lisa and the head of the Board, Ted Weldon (Brian Kerwin), are from the same small town upstate and when she went missing, her parents called him to help. With no body or evidence, the case is difficult.
