The Missing Hours

Julia Dahl Schools of Public Engagement '04

From a distance, Claudia Castro seems to have it all: a famous family, a trust fund, thousands of Instagram followers, a spot in NYU 's freshman class. But if you look closer, things are messier: Her parents are separating, she 's just been humiliated by a sleazy documentary, and her sister is about to have a baby with a man she barely knows.

Claudia starts the school year resolved to find a path to something positive, maybe even meaningful - and then one drunken night, everything changes. Reeling, her memory hazy, Claudia cuts herself off from her family, seeking solace in a new friendship. But when her classmates return from spring break, Claudia is missing. Suddenly the whole city is trying to piece together the hours of that terrible night.
