In what first appears to be an abduction film, the filmmakers switch gears to the girl-on-the-run thriller genre. The scripting is clever, the characters are well developed, and the narrative design includes an excellent set of twists and turns.
Amy Kettering is still in recovery from her traumatic experience of a brutal assault when she has to deal with the kidnapping of her young child Emily. On top of everything, Amy's estranged husband David is filing for sole custody.
Amy works as a nurse, and she was in the perfect position to be blackmailed to murder a reporter who was shot and wounded and is in recovery at the hospital where Amy works. She must administer the lethal injection to the reporter in order to get her child back.
Behind the scenes, a mastermind has stolen precious vials of flu vaccine to be used in a scam to prop up a political operative named Paula Stomach. It looks like everything will come to a head at the old island factory of the Leeson & Leslie Scrap and Salvage company.
But that was a false ending as the quick-thinking Emily signaled to her mom on video that she was being held in a posh estate at 12 Rose Avenue. In the climactic scene, Amy puts her martial arts training to use in defeating the mastermind of the flu vaccine theft, the crooked cop who was working on the inside, and the politician who stood to capitalize on the vaccine shortage.
The best line in the film was spoken by Amy, when she queried the mastermind, "You think you can trust a politician?" Behind the mad race to discover the truth, the heroine was a model of the film's principal theme that a mother will stop at nothing in order to save her child. Amy Kettering is both a survivor and a model mom.
