When a child disappears, every second counts. As a relatively new FBI agent, Ann Davidson struggles with personalizing the cases. Hours after delivering the news that a boy's murder investigation has officially gone cold, Ann and her partner, Patrick Duncan, catch a new case: a custody kidnapping. They have precious little time to find the victim, two-year-old Josiah Quinn. If even a day goes by without locating the boy, the odds of finding him drop to nearly nothing. They couldn't save the other boy, but Ann's determined not to fail again.
