Jonathan and Valerie are living out the worst nightmare that a family can experience: the disappearance of their 12-year-old son Eliot, who is autistic. Nothing else matters right now except for their search to find him safe and sound. An Amber Alert has been activated. Family, friends, neighbours, and volunteers gather around the desperate family. Their home is swarming with responders and police investigators. The Missing Persons Unit interrogates the Charbonneau family, revealing intimate details about the family’s past and the circumstances that triggered the tragedy. The parents and ex- spouses question their own actions and feel responsible for what has happened. The despair and guilt are tearing them apart. Amber Alert is a poignant drama where we witness both a family’s misfortune and the emotional ties that bind them together. Where hard days are countered with moments of brightness and hope.
