The Drowning tells the story of Jodie, who, upon catching sight of
Daniel, a teenage boy, is convinced she has found her missing son.
Whether she is right or not, in that moment her spark of hope is ignited
and she commits to a dangerous and transgressive path that will take
her to the edge of reason. How far will she go? How far would any of us
go to find a missing child?
