On August 9, 2006, Leonard Watson dropped off his eight-year-old son Kurtis at summer camp. That's the last time anyone saw him. Watson disappeared, leaving his family behind. Fourteen years later, Kurtis Watson discovers a trove of home videos-hundreds of hours recorded by his father leading up to his death-a discovery that inspires a painstaking search for answers in recorded moments, family testimonials, and conversations with people connected to the event in any way, including the Watson family themselves, who come together for the first time to talk about the weight of this memory in their lives.
