Missing in Brooks County follows the journey of two families who have come to Brooks County to look for their loved ones who went missing. As they search for answers, they encounter a haunted land where death is a part of everyday life. A gripping documentary mystery, it is also a deeply humane portrait of the law enforcement agents, human rights workers, and activists who come face to face with the life and death consequences of a broken system.

Gay, middle aged, suicidal Mark lives with his eccentric mother in the deteriorating home of his childhood. Through home movies he watches, we learn of his parents' nasty divorce and hints as to why Mark remains stuck. Enter Ted, an attractive Puerto Rican laborer, and Mark begins to reawaken. In the end, he must choose between past secrets or facing an unknown future of his design.
