Complete story — includes the ending

Ethan Sawyer, a high school student goes missing from his home. Hours earlier he had returned to the house with cuts and bruises on his face and the team speculate that he may have had some personal trouble. It isn't long before it is discovered that, behind the seemingly idyllic life the missing boy is leading, lies a world of teenage orgies, drug abuse and accusations of other criminal activity. The squad must unravel the mysteries in the small town in order to find the boy. Note: In December 2004, this episode's depiction of a teenage orgy caused several CBS affiliates to be fined a total of $3.63 million (later settled to $300,000), due to its airing in the Central and Mountain time zones prior to the safe harbor period of 10:00pm.
