The Vanishing at Opal Creek
(2024)
Lights. Camera. Murder.
Amidst the rugged beauty of Oregon’s Opal Creek Wilderness, a contestant from a reality survival show is found dead at the base of a cliff, his body shattered against the rocks. The show's producers are spinning it as a tragic accident, but local police suspect murder.
While enjoying a leisurely tour of the Oregon wine country with friends and colleagues, Detective Thomas Austin is drawn into the mystery when he learns that the deceased man is a well-known author who lived minutes from his own home. As the cameras capture every grim detail, Austin must navigate a maze of conflicting stories from the show's crew and contestants along with environmental protestors, celebrity-seeking paparazzi, a local tribe, and even a group of Bigfoot hunters.
In a world in which everyone is performing for the camera, the lines between truth and fiction blur. And when another contestant vanishes, the investigation takes a turn more twisted and sinister than Austin could have imagined.
