Another day, another kidnapping...or so it appears.

A programmer's wife is abducted from her home under suspicious circumstances. The only clues are a missing kitchen knife and some blurry security cam footage. It is up to Julian Mercer and his team to identify the kidnapper and negotiate the woman's release. However, things don't go as planned.

The kidnapper is methodical and careful. He only wants one thing in exchange for the woman, but obtaining it will be nearly impossible. Forced to make some hard decisions, Mercer and his team must split up, but it's uncertain if they'll succeed or if someone will betray them.
