Could you find your kidnapped child in a full stadium before the match ends…?
What begins as a pleasant day at the aquarium turns into every parent’s worst nightmare when Gavin Boyd and his wife, Cara, lose their 4-year-old son, Jasper, in the blink of an eye.
Two years later, we catch up with the shell of a person that Gavin has become. Separated from Cara and wallowing in depression, he is barely able to puppet himself enough to put together anything resembling a life. When Gavin’s best friend, Dennis, calls to inform him of his upcoming bachelor party consisting of a Dodger’s game and a weekend in Vegas, Gavin declines, too distressed and uncomfortable to travel. “It’s not about you this time,” his buddy insists.
At Dodger Stadium, Gavin is going through the motions of a good time, unhinged but pushing on for Dennis. Dodgers are playing the Rockies and the stadium is packed with enthusiastic fans. It’s during the bottom of the 4th when Gavin sees an unmistakable miracle on the Jumbotron — his son, Jasper!
Racing against the clock to track down Jasper before the game lets out, Gavin is met with obstacles at every turn…
