A high-stakes thriller about a mother's desperate fight to recover her kidnapped daughter while evading both traffickers and the law, driven by maternal desperation and paranoia.

Former FBI agent, now single mother Lisa Brennan, takes a holiday to escape an unhappy love affair and painful family memories.
