When the son of a prominent American businesswoman (Thurman) is kidnapped from a New York hotel, the eye of suspicion quickly falls on four seemingly ordinary British citizens who were at the hotel on the night in question. As they find themselves in a trans-Atlantic cat and mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted. Who is really behind the mysterious abduction, and who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Quotes
Some self reflection that I would like to share: Do not let yourself-or others- suppress individually considered and championed kindness... Love. A challenge it may be at times. However these are the powerful sparks of light that make the soul sing, and the world flicker bright and proud! Great big hearts abound izzzzzn't it! Cheers!
