Rex (Gene Bervoets) and Saskia (Johanna Ter Steege), a young couple in love, are enjoying a biking holiday in France. When the pair stop at a busy service station to get refreshments, Saskia disappears without a trace. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex is still obsessed with finding her, appearing on television and putting up posters, ruining his new relationship in the process. Eventually, he begins to receive letters from the abductor, who's closer to Rex than he thought.
