A woman is forced to confront the horrors of her past to save the little sister she didnt know existed.

Covered in blood, 7-year-old Carly Carlton runs through lush landscape as she flees the terrifying scene in her Palm Springs home. Far on the other coast, Samantha Rae wakes to face her own nightmare. Estranged from her family for 20 years, Samantha has numbed with drugs, alcohol and work to hide from her pain.

Palm Springs detectives respond to investigate the assault of a retired fellow officer and the murder of his wife. As the detectives begin to unravel the truth, their investigation leads them from the west coast to the Jersey shore, taking them through one mans dark secrets to horrifying memories and paralyzing silence.

Compelled to go to California, Samantha must face her darkest fears to rescue Carly, ultimately unlocking their collective silence.

In the genre of Sleepers and Gone Baby Gone, Safe and Sound is a chilling, fast-paced suspense drama based on true events.
