But the question is...how far is someone willing to go to get what Daphne was born into? The answer is kidnapping. When her father's night of media and glory is crashed by ski-masked men with fake guns, Daphne finds herself tied and thrown into the back of a van. Being held hostage for ten million isn't that scary, not really. Not when the kidnappers are complete amateurs. But when Daphne finds herself thrown into the arms of one of the most wanted and notorious criminals in the country, that's when things start to go wrong.
