The Search for Sheree | Everything Escalates | 1

It all starts with a phone call. A woman receives a late-night lingerie survey call that turns obscene. The man on the line says he wants to meet her. With the help of police, she sets a trap and captures the caller. But all he receives is a slap on the wrist. Years later, that man will meet and begin dating a young mother named Sheree Warren. Only a few months later, Sheree Warren disappears.
