Projects: Stolen Lives
A small town detective deals with the loss of his own son while trying to uncover the identity of a boy whose mummified remains are found in a box buried for fifty years.
Work has become an obsession for Detective Tom Adkins (Jon Hamm) since
the disappearance of his ten-year-old son, Tommy Jr. When an early
morning phone call leads him to the mangled remains of a young boy
who was brutally murdered 50 years ago, Adkins takes on the case
in hopes of finding absolution. His investigation leads him to a
man who lived in 1958 named Matthew Wakefield (Josh Lucas) and his
innocent son, John. The striking similarities in the cases pushes
Adkins' obsession over the top. Barely holding onto his sanity and
bound by redemption, Adkins unravels the unspeakable truth behind
what happened to his son.
