On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick reports his wife missing, and it appears she disappeared amidst a bloody struggle. Under pressure from police and a growing media frenzy, his portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble and his increasingly strange behavior has everyone asking: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?
