Plot

Sean Boyd, a former cop, aligns with Maria, a street smart young clerk from the New York City dog pound, on a search for his daughter, who is kidnapped by Gus Soltic, a psychopath, after being mistaken for a wealthy man's daughter. His search is met with obstacles as he runs afoul of the police in his pursuit, including a corrupt former colleague bent on revenge against him. Meanwhile, the kidnapper is just as prepared to kill anybody, including his young hostage, unless his ransom demands are met.

Cast
