Plot

Stranded in New York City due to missing a bus caused by a delay of a plane, recently divorced mother Susannah Bartok (Valerie Bertinelli) is attacked and maced outside Macy's in Manhattan, and her 2-year-old son gets kidnapped. After she unsuccessfully pleads to the police, who feel indifferent about the case, newspaper reporter Victoria Garcia (Rachel Ticotin) helps the young mother in finding her son. Susannah, desperate to find her son, initially rejects Victoria's help because she is realistic about the possible fate of her boy, though convinced that the police are not doing their job quickly enough, she allows Victoria's help. Victoria redirects Susannah to a psychic called Christopher Zellner (Roderick Cook), who believes that her son Sonny is dead. Susannah refuses to believe him, and continues her intense and exhausting search. After putting a photo of her son in the newspaper, several 'witnesses' report to the police, but they are all frauds, annoying Lt. Ernest Foy (Jason Alexander). During their search, they discover an underground black market ring, selling young children.

Cast

gollark: It's possible to brute-force encryption in theory, but modern crypto makes this very impractical to do given constraints like the available size of the universe and stuff.
gollark: <@!692654568827387986> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about encryption here. You can't just magically decrypt stuff without the key. Encrypted data you don't have the key for is indistinguishable from random noise.
gollark: It still has calls to Google stuff in it, they're just visibly there.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: The only infinite scroll thing on my website is the infinite lorem ipsum page, as a joke which probably will eat all your RAM.
