When the first bullet hit my chest, I thought my daughter... Marc Seidman wakes up in ICU to find his wife has been murdered and his baby daughter, Tara, has vanished. Then something arrives to give Marc new hope: a ransom note. We are watching. If you contact the authorities you will never see your daughter again. There will be no second chance.
The note is chilling, but Marc sees only one thing: the chance to save his daughter. And, haunted by deception and deadly secrets - about his wife, about an old love, and about his own past, he vows to bring Tara home... at any cost.
