Lorenzen Wright had it all. He had a beautiful family, a successful NBA career and family and freinds that adored him. When money troubles and allegations of infidelity and abuse start to circulate, Lorenzen's marriage crumbles, and he and his wife go their separate ways, until a few months later when he decides he misses her and heads back to Memphis. In the middle of a Tennessee summer, Lorenzen vanishes and it would be years before anyone could figure out what really happened the night he went missing.
