They together have a daughter, Cassie, whose custody is with Pam for the time being, till they are officially divorced. One day, a notorious criminal, Richard (Ving Rhames), kidnaps Cassie and calls 911 only to connect with Pam, whom he wants to send her estranged husband, Jeremy, to certain locations, where he can be killed. Richard doesn't allow Pam to hang up the call and answer other incoming emergency calls, leading to a physical conflict with an office coworker. Jeremy and his partner are able to figure out that someone is playing with them, after meeting a series of mishaps and accidents, and also receiving a text message from Pam, indicating that Cassie was kidnapped.

In the end, Jeremy is able to save Cassie and eliminate Richard.
