Publisher's summary
Molly went missing from the estate 12 years ago. Ianto remembers it because he lived just round the corner. Only, Molly's come back.
Ianto's just as interested as her parents in what happened to her.
Plot
Twelve years after disappearing at a fayre at Penarth Pier, Molly shows up on the doorstep of her mother, Alison, who has been having nightmares about her ever since she vanished. Ianto visits the house with a cover story about investigating the malfunction of satellite systems at the same time that Molly returned, but Alison refuses to answer any questions until he goes to see if any footage was caught on any the neighbours' camera. When he confirms her suspicion that he is Torchwood, she lets him in and tells him about Molly, whose disappearance he remembers from his childhood as he grew up on the estate.
