Fearing for the child's safety, the First Lady seeks the assistance of Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, renowned for their ability to bring people home safely.

Their connection runs deeper than just a simple favor.

With adversaries converging from all directions, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish allies from foes.
