"After all else has failed, Linda joins an underground nationwide organization to find her kidnapped child. But a chance event makes her suspect that she and the other members of the local chapter are being used and that the people they are abducting and interrogating may not be kidnappers at all. She begins trying to uncover what the organization is really about; but when one of the members does not come back from an assignment, she realizes that her suspicions may cost her life. "
