Abandon is a psychological thriller about Katie Burke (Katie Holmes), a senior at one of America’s most prestigious universities. Under enormous pressure to complete her thesis and earn a top job at one of the world’s most competitive consulting firms, Katie is still coping with the sudden unexplained disappearance of her first love, Embry Langan (Charlie Humman) two years prior. Struggling to pull his life back together, newly sober Detective Wade Handler (Benjamin Bratt) is called in to investigate and uncovers some disconcerting facts concerning Embry’s mysterious disappearance. As Katie tries to come to terms with her deep-rooted fear of abandonment, she must choose between past passions and new possibilities as Handler teeters on the edge of a fragile sobriety.
