After Darcy is kidnapped and held for ransom, her ex-lover, L.A. narcotics Detective Charlie DeSantis(Oz Perkins)arrives in the small town of Bryerson to investigate.

When key evidence of Darcy's whereabouts slowly begin to surface, DeSantis and Sheriff Patterson suspect that she may be involved in staging her own kidnapping and ransom.
