The sleepy hamlet of Elrod, Georgia—a mysterious town where girls have a habit of vanishing—is the setting of director Lauren Fash’s tense, psychological thriller. Since the sudden disappearance of her daughter a year ago, Charlie (Robyn Lively of both Teen Witch and Twin Peaks fame) has never given up hope, still plastering telephone poles with "Missing" signs. But at home, the relationship with her partner Angela (Ozark’s Bethany Anne Lind) has become increasingly frayed, and her only solace is a drink at the local bar. When another girl goes missing, Charlie sets out to find answers, digging deeper into the community’s dark past and being forced to confront her own destructive secrets.

Fash’s impressive thriller smartly uses genre trappings to explore the inner workings of its heroine as she struggles to cope with reality. With a rich supporting cast which includes Shanola Hampton (Shameless) and Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica), Through the Glass Darkly rests confidently on Robyn Lively’s complex, nuanced lead performance, which adds an emotional depth to its intriguing mysteries.
