With time running out and tensions high, a veteran negotiator and a hard-nosed police chief engage in a delicate dance with the father, who will stop at nothing to ensure his son's survival. As the standoff captivates the nation's attention, questions about America's healthcare system and its flaws come to light. Will this desperate father be able to save his son before it's too late?
