Five people with ties to a Los Angeles billionaire suddenly disappear from their daily lives. His two youngest children are taken from their school bus. His oldest son is taken with his movie-star girlfriend during a romantic getaway. His wife is taken while leaving a spa.
The kidnappers demand a one billion dollars, an astronomical price higher than that commanded for the Lindbergh baby, Patty Hearst, or John Paul Getty III. The gamble: is such a ransom even possible to pay? FBI Special Agent Nicky Gordon leads the urgent search to locate the captors and victims, until a risky information exchange alters the calculations on both sides.
