For her, it's personal. For him, it's a contract.

A tense, procedural thriller about a wife's desperate fight to save her kidnapped husband through negotiation and personal agency in a morally ambiguous hostage crisis.

When Peter Bowman, an American engineer working in a South American country, is captured by anti-government forces, the rebels learn his identity and demand $5 million for his safe return. However, his US employer is on the verge of insolvency and will not provide the ransom. Peter's wife Alice is forced to deal with the matter on her own and she retains the services of freelance professional hostage negotiator Terry Thorne.
