Every parents nightmare, and that’s just the beginning.
As a father I would do anything to ensure my daughters safety, and that’s where things start to go wrong for Banker Wade.
His son Myles is really troubled, failing school, heavily into drugs, slowly ruining his own life.
Wade arranges an intervention. He has Myles forcibly taken from his home and placed into rehab, for a year.
When Myles comes home he runs off to Mexico with his “Girlfriend” and is kidnapped by the cartel.
To raise the ransom Wade agrees to work for another Bank, but what he is actually doing is working for the Cartel.
This is a story of love and sacrifice that leads to a parents downward spiral.
Moralistically I emphasised with Wade, and wanted to slap Myles.
But ultimately I wanted to shout at Wade to wake up and see what he was getting himself into.
And all of this is only the begining

When the FBI can’t help, an unassuming banker takes matters into his own hands to bring his son home
Wade, a respected banker in La Jolla, CA, and his estranged wife, Fiona, make the unbearable decision to send their teenage son, Myles, away to an expensive treatment center after a streak of harmful behavior. After a year of treatment, Myles comes home, seemingly rehabilitated. But soon, he sneaks off to Tijuana to buy drugs—and is kidnapped.
When the ransom call comes, Fiona is frantic and accepts help from Andre, the Quebecois whose charity Fiona runs. Wade is wary of Andre’s reputation and the bank he owns, but seeing no other way to secure a kidnap negotiator or the ransom, he swallows his doubts to get his son home.
In order to get the ransom money, Wade makes a deal with Andre—he’ll work for Andre’s bank in exchange for the cash. But as Wade races to rescue Myles before his kidnappers lose their patience, he realizes he’s wrapped up in more crime than just a kidnapping—he’s now indebted to a cartel.
