Synopsis

Dr. Oscar LeBlanc is close to a medical breakthrough to cure dementia and other degenerative diseases...but in order to succeed, he needs to illegally obtain plasma from prepubescent children. He believes the ends justify the means, so two young girls are abducted. The disappearance of the girls causes a lockdown of the area, and when one of the girl’s parents proves uncooperative with the police, former homicide-cop-turned-radio-presenter Maggie Wise offers to help. Maggie quickly forms a connection with the family just as the girls are recovered. LeBlanc is quickly suspected, but after he is questioned, he’s found dead from an apparent suicide. However, the circumstances are suspicious, and Maggie finds herself conflicted when the families become the prime suspect.
