Storyline

Mary is abducted leaving a studio where her mother, Jinx, is auditioning for a musical, by blundering drug thugs who think she is Brandi, who really has stolen their drugs... twenty pounds of pure Meth. Brandi's New Jersey boyfriend, Chuck, is abducted by the thugs as well, after the drug dealers shoot and kill two F.B.I. agents in Chucks home, who had arrested him, and arranged to place him into WITSEC for his testimony about the drug ring. With precious few clues to go on, the Albuquerque P.D., the F.B.I., and the Inspectors for WITSEC forge a joint task-force to figure out who has kidnapped her, and hopefully rescue Mary from her abductors, before it's too late. Certain truths about Brandi are coming to light to the authorities.
