Summary:

This narrative revolves around a regular individual thrust into extraordinary circumstances in his quest to rescue his partner from the clutches of danger. Living an unremarkable yet contented life, our protagonist, a computer engineer, and his wife experience the shock of their lives when they are abruptly abducted by organized criminals.

In his search for help, he reconnects with an old friend, a detective filled with zeal, as well as a woman from his past whom he once held dear.
