When 7-year-old Charlotte Bryce is abducted right in front of her mother, an Amber Alert is issued. Rideshare driver Shane (Williams) and his passenger Jacqueline (Panettiere) soon realize that the car in front of them matches the suspect’s license plate. With 911 unable to dispatch a squad quickly, the two embark on a high-stakes car chase to save Charlotte. They’re tasked with keeping the police informed of the kidnapper’s every move, while ensuring he doesn’t realize he’s being followed.

“If we don’t find him, she’ll be gone forever,” Jacqueline warns Shane. But, as a police officer points out, the stakes are high, as the kidnapper is armed and they are not. The situation escalates when they finally track the suspect to his hideout, leading to a life-or-death mission to rescue the little girl.

The movie was written and directed by Kerry Bellessa and produced by Summer Bellessa, the team behind 2022 sci-fi film Immanence .
