The criminals demand a ransom, but their plans are complicated when the daughter reveals she has a life-threatening medical condition. As the situation escalates, the lines between captor and captive begin to blur, leading to a tense and dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Audiences were also underwhelmed, leading to a disappointing box office performance.
