Debra Messing, a Determined Police Detective in "Searching"

She’s best known for her role on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning comedy series Will & Grace.  Now Debra Messing plays the accomplished and determined police detective Rosemary Vick tackling the case of a missing teenaged girl, in Columbia Pictures’ riveting suspense thriller Searching - the winner of the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

In the film, after David Kim (John Cho)’s 16-year-old daughter, Margot, goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter’s laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter’s digital footprints before she disappears forever.
