Blacklight (1)

Clare Blake's goddaughter Sadie disappears from a nightclub. That same evening, Ronald Aitken manages to escape from a psychiatric hospital, where he has been admitted for 18 years after the murder of his mother. The next morning, Aitken is found covered in blood, with Sadie's lifeless body in his arms. However, it quickly becomes clear that Aitken is not Sadie's killer, but rather an important witness. A witness who is deeply disturbed and has not spoken a word for 18 years.

Clare Blakes guddatter Sadie forsvinder fra en natklub. Samme aften lykkes det Ronald Aitken at stikke af fra et psykiatrisk hospital, hvor han har været indlagt i 18 år efter drabet på sin mor. Næste morgen bliver Aitken fundet indsmurt i blod, med Sadies livløse krop i sin favn. Det bliver dog hurtigt klart, at Aitken ikke er Sadies morder, men derimod et vigtigt vidne. Et vidne, som er dybt forstyrret, og som ikke har mælet et ord i 18 år.
