Joe Hickey, a man who is apparently in the business of kidnapping rich people's children for ransom. The viewer is then introduced to a typically happy family whose father and husband, Will Jennings, is a research physician who has just had his big career break by patenting a new drug. The couple's daughter is kidnapped by Hickey and his associates. The movie then follows the tense situation lived by the couple, separated by the bandits and kept in the dark as to what the outcome to their predicament is to be.
The situation is worsened by a health problem of the child's about which the kidnappers were uninformed.
