Just in case trying to locate Rachel Danforth, his boss's missing daughter, wasn't stressful enough, Edwin gets called into Ted Danforth's office, as he often does, and is informed that one the firm's clients is suspected of being blackmailed. That suspicion is reinforced when one the client's school busses is hijacked with fifty-four student passengers on board.
When the kidnappers demand a $50,000 for each school-aged child, paid every hour on the hour, the pressure boils to a tipping point for Edwin.
Each piece of information that Edwin uncovers not only leads him closer to solving the puzzle of the hijacked school bus, but answers some fundamental questions about why his boss's daughter has been avoiding the realities of her own truth.
As Edwin edges closer to the truth, he realizes that only he can find the answers that can lead him to rescuing the surviving children… but can he deliver before it's too late?
