She’s the pawn in a deranged madman’s scheme of revenge. In a contest of wits, Amber convinces her captor he is the father of the child she’s carrying.

For the two LAPD officers, anger and fear replace the cordial relationship they’d crafted during their separation. Bitter resentment ignites as the investigation reveals they were both culpable in their son’s disappearance. Word on the street reveals a notorious pimp is selling young children to the highest bidder. Roy and Amber must delve into the depraved world of child trafficking and prostitution to have any chance of saving their son. Can they beat the clock before their son is gone forever?
