The only person who notices Shannon&#8217;s sudden disappearance is her college counselor Ellen (Naturi Naughton). Ellen&#8217;s concerns are dismissed by Shannon&#8217;s professors, campus administration, students, and even her own boyfriend. Instead of answers, Ellen is met with careless comments about how &#8220;girls like that&#8221; from underserved communities often drop out of school. Determined to find Shannon, Ellen inadvertently uncovers a trafficking ring targeting students in need like Shannon.
