In the early morning hours of March 17, 1995 in Pickering, Ontario, six teenage boys go missing seemingly without a trace.

At 12:50am, they leave a house party and head to a local marina to "goof around".
At 1:48am, three of the boys are spotted on surveillance footage at the marina.
Between 2:30 and 3:00am, locals hear the sound of a motor boat near the docks.

Then, the trail goes cold with no concrete information surfacing about the whereabouts of the six boys nearly 30 years later. Police come to the logical conclusion that the six boys drowned in the lake that night after a joyride gone wrong. However, the stolen boat was allegedly "unsinkable" but has never been recovered in the lake despite an extensive search by police. So many questions remain in this case, with the biggest being: how can a boat and all six boys vanish without a trace?
