What if everything you loved vanishediin broad daylight?

Every day will bring us closer to the truth.

A mother, Leanne, vanishes into thin air. Her children, abandoned in her car, also go missing. As police search for clues and the case becomes the center of a media frenzy over three gut-wrenching months, Leanne's husband and family learn that nobody's quite what they seem. Everyone is a suspect. In the end, five days prove critical in solving the case. The HBO Films miniseries Five Days tracks five pivotal, non-sequential days surrounding the sensational abduction case complete with increasingly fractious family members, a maze of unexpected detours, and a complex and frustrating police investigation. Starring David Oyelowo (The Last King of Scotland), Five Days is a dramatic thriller brimming with tension that ratchets up with each new plot twist and revelation.
