What happens

Abandon is a 2002 American psychological thriller drama film written and directed by Stephen Gaghan in his directorial debut. It follows a college student (Katie Holmes) whose boyfriend (Charlie Hunnam) disappeared two years previously. Despite being set at an American university, much of the movie was filmed in Montreal, Quebec at McGill University's McConnell Hall. It is based on the book Adams Fall by Sean Desmond. The book was re-titled Abandon for the movie tie-in paperback printing. The film co-stars Zooey Deschanel, Gabrielle Union, and Melanie Lynskey, with Benjamin Bratt playing the detective who is investigating the boyfriend's disappearance. It was a critical and commercial failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
