Storyline

When the son of a wealthy man is kidnapped, the parents are called and told not to involve the police. The mother wants some kind of assurance that they will get their son back, so the family lawyer tells them of a man who specializes in bringing back kidnap victims. He comes and he's not exactly people friendly but will do whatever he has to to bring their son back. The boy's bodyguard, who is shot and placed in a hospital, is found by his brother-in-law, an FBI agent, who is thereby told about the boy's kidnapping. He goes to the family and, knowing the specialist they've hired, tries working together to bring the boy back, but they learn that there's a lot more going on.

User Reviews

Excellent crime show!!!

Cancelling this show for whatever reason is beyond me! Luckily somebody put up the remaining episodes for anybody to see! This show was exciting and moving from the start till the end with a hell of a cliffhanger and closure! In that aspect it succeeded where "Vanished" failed! The cast is great and the plot is thrilling! The characters all have their good points and flaws! Even the bad guys show their caring side! Which was refreshing to see! So the people portrayed in the show seem very human! It is easy to sympathize with many of the characters which makes the viewing experience more enjoyable! "Kidnapped" is full of surprises and never gets boring! This series deserved air time and even continuation for an extra season! Why do these so called experts canceling these great shows? Don't be fooled by their judgment! "Kidnapped" is top quality entertainment and drama!
