Tom Mullen is a self-made millionaire who has worked hard to accumulate his wealth, and he takes pride in his loving family. However, tragedy strikes when his son is kidnapped.

When Mullen goes to make the ransom drop, something goes awry. The kidnapper contacts him again to reschedule, but on his way to the new location, Mullen makes a difficult decision not to comply.
