Christmas Eve, 1945: a family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia goes up in flames, and five Sodder children are declared dead before the ash is even cold.

For decades their parents chase diner sightings, strange witnesses, and a cryptic photo of a grown man who might be their missing son, while a billboard on Route 19 screams the question no one in power wants answered: what really happened?
