"The Year of Fog" tells the story of Abby Mason, a San Francisco photographer who "loses" her fiance's six-year old daughter Emma while taking her for a walk on San Francisco's foggy Ocean Beach. Abby looks away from Emma for a moment to snap a photo, and when she looks back, the girl has disappeared. Convinced that Emma has not drowned in the ocean (the girl is terrified of the water), Abby and Emma's father Jake conduct a search to find the missing girl. As the weeks drag into months, it becomes harder and harder to keep motivated to continue the search. A very touching story.
