Jill (Faye Dunaway) and Phillip (Frank Langella) are married and have two beautiful children Patrick and Cathy, Phillip has quit his job working in Industrial espionage, Jill is suffering from anxiety problems, their relationship can be Turbulent as Phillip is slightly controlling, with an angry streak at times. Can the relationship weather the fast approaching storm?
While Jill is at the flea market with the children Philip has an appointment with a rather sinister looking man who wants him to sign a contact and rejoin the organisation in return he will receive a million dollars. Phillip turns down the offer not wanting to return to his former life. Later returning from a trip Phillip finds out Jill and the children have been in a car accident, flowers are delivered with a note “we were scared, thinking of you” it seems the organisation may be more intertwined in their lives than Phillip believed and his family may be in danger.
Jill still plagued by uncertainty and the fear she is losing her mind visits a psychiatrist and when out with the children she stops at a stall to buy Patrick a new scarf, the children of course do not wait for her and disappear round the corner. We first believe them to be lost but is this really really the case? When calling out their names I found it strange Jill would repeatedly call for Patrick but never Cathy, why would a mother not be calling out for both her children when they are lost.
We later find out Cathy and Patrick are alive and not lost but kidnaped by the organisation and locked away in a house. Patrick discovers what he thinks is a toy gun and shoots several times before realising its loaded and it turn breaks a mirror when the Kidnapper comes downstairs asking for the gun to be given back, Patrick shoots.
Phillip still waiting for news finally receives the call he has both wanted and feared in equal measure if he agrees to meet the organisation and signs the contract they in turn will return his children, but it isn’t as simple as Phillip first thought as the police have also followed him to ask him questions delaying the meeting, will this cost him and his family?
Jill has also been investigating and made a startling discovery of her own, she has found out her friend who also lives in the apartment block has been working for the organisation she enlists her help in finding Cathy and Patrick but she is shot before she is really able to give any valuable information as to the location, the only information given is a phone number. Can the police track down the address in time to find the children?
The closing scenes are of the family and the police having tracked down the location of the house look for the children and with no sign in the house they search the out building and find the children hiding, once again the family is reunited. Is the deadly trap finally broken and is the family safe from the organisation once and for all?
