New York. Renowned music mogul David King, famous for his impeccable ear, is trying to retain control of his record label and is investing all his resources in acquiring a controlling stake to prevent its sale. Soon, an unknown assailant kidnaps his 17-year-old son, Trey, and demands a ransom of $17.5 million for his return. The police get involved, and it later turns out that the criminal made a mistake and kidnapped the son of King’s driver, but he continues to demand the ransom anyway, threatening to kill the boy if the demand is refused. The man faces a difficult moral choice, because if he pays the demanded amount for someone else’s child, he will be ruined.
