As the head of the missing persons unit, Kat is already deep into the investigation of another disappearance, that of Rishi Migari (Rudi Dharmalingam). Just when she thinks she’s on the right track, a boy approaches her to help find his missing mother, who was last seen with Josh. This twist complicates the case and forces Kat to confront haunting secrets from her past.

Meanwhile, Kat is also grappling with the unresolved murder of her father (Lenny Henry), who tragically died shortly before Josh's initial disappearance. This intertwining of personal and professional investigations adds depth and intrigue to Missing You, showcasing Nesbitt's remarkable range as an actor.
