Every two minutes, someone in Britain is reported as missing. Many of the subsequent searches can involve dozens of police officers, volunteers, dogs and helicopters. This series follows live missing person investigations as they unfold, capturing the frantic efforts and quick thinking that hopefully result in the missing person being located before any harm can come to them. The perspectives of the police officers conducting the search, as well as those of the families and friends of the missing person, are shown using multiple cameras in real-life events, where every second of the search counts.
