A woman claims to be David Raker's wife, but he buried her eight years ago. You Were Gone explores identity and the truth behind love.

In You Were Gone, a gripping psychological thriller, the story unfolds when a woman walks into a police station, claiming to be the wife of David Raker. With no phone or identification, she presents only a mysterious piece of paper bearing his name. However, the shocking truth is that David buried his wife eight years prior, leading him to question not only her identity but also his own sanity. The narrative dives deep into themes of grief, memory, and the complexities of love, forcing David to confront his past in a chilling manner.

As the plot thickens, David finds himself ensnared in a web of deceit and intrigue. The woman, who looks exactly like his deceased wife and seems to know everything about him, stirs up a whirlwind of emotions. Is this truly the woman he mourned, or is it an elaborate deception? As David races against time to uncover the truth, he becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance, adding a layer of urgency to his quest for answers.

You Were Gone is not just a tale of mystery; it is a profound exploration of how far one will go to protect the ones they love. With unexpected twists and an emotional depth that resonates, the story keeps readers on the edge of their seats, questioning reality and the nature of love itself.
