Ed Runyon, a former sheriff's deputy plagued by past cases of missing children that ended in tragedy, is struggling to establish his own private investigation (PI) agency while maintaining his connection to the Ohio farm country he cherishes. His personal life is also in disarray as his partner seeks affection from someone else. Furthermore, his best friend has been physically harmed by a rogue officer, leaving Ed in a combative state.

Ed's pursuit of a runaway chess enthusiast who is hiding vital information from his homophobic and religious parents brings him a fresh sense of purpose. His unwavering commitment to reuniting children with their families is the driving force behind his decision to become a PI. However, Jimmy Zachman's decision to flee has led him into far more peril than he was already in, and the search for him culminates in a deadly and desperate confrontation. The outcome hinges on sheer determination and a risky maneuver. Ed is determined to locate Jimmy at any cost.
