After dropping doted toddler son Jake McGrath with a regular senior babysitter, Colleen goes missing. She could barely afford the rent and sitter, yet shortly before bought both expensive gifts. Her supervisor as discount supermarket store clerk Duane Burdick didn't fire her when caught stealing to pay for Jake's hear-aid, yet the boy's even poorer father, construction worker Ray Weaver, was asked for even more 'stat' for another 'case of life or death'. She was fired as cleaner as prime suspect for reporting the employer Ted Fortman's adultery to his often-absent wife he filed for expensive divorce. Most disturbing are her desperate dealings with Jake's ex-junkie young sitter and drug dealers.
