Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) lost her son Sam 14 months ago. She's not getting along with her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards). Therapist Dr. Jack Munce (Gary Sinise) is treating her. Ash Correll (Dominic West) lost his daughter Lauren on the same flight. Then evidence of Sam's existence disappear. Jim and Dr. Munce claim that she had a miscarriage and never had a son. She goes to Ash and convinces him to remember his daughter. Mysterious NSA agents are after them. NYPD Det. Anne Pope (Alfre Woodard) investigates the mysterious non-disappearances.
This is an intriguing premise. It starts as a psychological thriller. It turns into a sci-fi thriller. Julianne Moore keeps this very compelling. However, the movie never figures out how to explain the reasons for the disappearances. It is perfectly happy to have a lot of questions but they don't get answered. There is something more to do at the end of this movie and it leaves the audience hanging.
