Synopsis for Leaving Home

Jane & John have a child. They pay little attention to him or each other. One day their child goes missing & they don’t notice -- not right away. Not for a while. Two detectives take up the missing case. Jane & John are left to contemplate their role as parents (absent parents) & begin to lose trust in each other. Their relationship grows strange. The longer their child is missing, the more they break down. The more the detectives break down. & the further & further away the missing child seems.
