Absent

Absent follows Murray Schull, a young adult and college student, and his best friends Eve and Steve. At their college, students are disappearing every day. Murray, Eve and Steve investigate how and why this is happening, protect their other friends and try to stop it.

The investigation

The events begin when Crystal, Steve’s girlfriend of three months, disappears under mysterious circumstances while walking home from college. As Murray investigates, he realizes that her abduction was caused by something not of this earth. He is haunted by visions of the past and future, faces puzzles and sees friends turn against each other, all because of the Reaper.
