What happened to Catherine Salt?

July, 2009. The Salt family is on holiday in Florida. The holiday is a welcome break for both bestselling thriller novelist Catherine Salt, and her husband, doctor Aiden Salt. Their daughter, eleven year old Vanessa Salt is thrilled that her parents finally have the time to relax and spend more time with her.

On a slightly windy day, the family is at the beach. Vanessa has brought a book, and Aiden is relaxing on his beach towel.

After a while, Catherine wants to go for a walk on the beach. "I'll be right back", she tells her husband and daughter before she sets out.

But Catherine Salt doesn't come back. Vanessa and Aiden search for her on the beach and in the house. But Catherine is gone. Vanished in thin air.

In 2024 Vanessa is all grown up and works as an investigative reporter in the true crime section. Nobody knows her real identity as the daughter of the thriller novelist who went missing. But that is about to change.

As the fifteen year anniversary of Catherine's disappearance approaches, Vanessa's boss announces that the newspaper will be doing a deep dive into the case. Unwilling to let someone else write about her mother, Vanessa decides to take charge of the columns herself, and starts hunting for the truth about what happened to her mother that windy day on the beach.

But unraveling the mystery about her mother's disappearance sends Vanessa on a tumultuous journey through truth and lies, and not everyone wants her to find out what happened to Catherine...

In 2009, Catherine discovers that she is being betrayed by someone close to her. And if there is something Catherine Salt doesn't tolerate, it's being betrayed. Determined to put things right, Catherine concots an elaborate plan that'll get her exactly what she wants.

Because Catherine Salt doesn't just get revenge. She gets even.
