It would take a perfect plan to collect a billion-dollar ransom.

So here’s the plan.

Five innocent people. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment in time.

Two children taken from a private school bus. A film producer and a movie star grabbed at a hideaway resort. A beautiful wife whisked off the streets of Beverly Hills.

A billionaire wants his family back.

The cash, gold, jewels, crypto are all ready.

There’s only one problem: Stubborn and brilliant FBI agent Nicky Gordon also has a plan. And she doesn’t want to pay the kidnappers. Not a dime.
