When affluent executive Wayne Hayes is kidnapped by a disgruntled employee and held for ransom in a forest, Wayne’s wife is forced to reckon with the FBI agents as they negotiate with the kidnapper.
A wealthy executive's disappearance into the deep woods turns a routine ransom demand into a psychological tug-of-war between a desperate wife and federal agents. Every minute spent negotiating heightens the tension as the line between victim and predator blurs in the shadows.
