The movie begins with a haunting voiceover by a young girl, Scarlett Sher, narrating a mysterious event that took place in the town of Maybrook two years prior. On a seemingly ordinary Wednesday morning at 2:17 AM, 17 second grade students from Ms. Justine Gandy’s (Julia Garner) class vanished without explanation. All the children, except for one boy named Alex Lilly (Cary Christopher), left their homes in the darkness, running with their arms stretched out, and disappeared into thin air. No one knows where they went or what caused such an inexplicable mass disappearance.
