A husband comes home after work to find his wife is missing, and there are signs of a struggle with a smashed, upturned glass coffee table and an overturned ottoman; two police detectives arrive and badger the husband about his wife's friends, blood type and daily life; a community manhunt begins for the wife and a Nancy Grace-like TV reporter repeatedly condemns the husband as guilty of murder while his sister says that whoever killed her will likely bring her back.
A man's throat is cut with a box cutter. Graphic, but this is the only very violent scene in the whole movie.
Torture includes beating with a hammer on face.
