Synopsis

"Everyone wants the truth... until they find it."

Starring Academy Award-nominees Casey Affleck and Amy Ryan alongside Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris, edge-of-your-seat thriller GONE BABY GONE is the critically-acclaimed and hotly-anticipated directorial debut from Academy Award-winning screenwriter and actor Ben Affleck.

Based on the fourth novel in Dennis Lehane's 'Kenzie and Gennaro' best-selling detective series, GONE BABY GONE follows a gripping and disturbing criminal investigation by private detectives Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) and Angie Gennaro (Monaghan).

The story revolves around the search for a kidnapped year-old, who has disappeared in the seamiest part of Boston, which leads them into the depths of the city's underworld, where the gritty working-class streets are lined with the wreckage of broken families and dreams. Taking on a new and deeply sensitive case they soon find themselves on a trail that winds into the dark heart of the city and the pungent misery of abuse, addiction and neglect.
