Former government operative Bryan Mills begins the longest 96-hours of his life--and the hunt 
for the fearsome organization that has taken his daughter Kim. Mills had only recently given up 
his government career as what he calls a "preventer" to be near Kim, who lives with Bryan's 
ex-wife Lenore and her new husband. To make ends meet, Bryan joins some former colleagues for 
special security details (like guarding a pop diva), but most of his time and energy are spent 
re-connecting with Kim. Bryan's familial goal is nearly derailed when Kim requests his permission 
to spend time in Paris with a friend. All too aware of the dangers that could lie ahead for Kim 
in a foreign land, Bryan says no, but Kim's disappointment leads him to very reluctantly relent. 
Bryan's worst fears are realized when Kim and her friend Amanda are suddenly abducted--in broad 
daylight--from the Paris apartment at which they've just arrived. Moments before Kim is dragged 
away by the as yet unseen and unknown assailants, she manages to phone Bryan, who begins to 
expertly piece together clues that will take him to the darkness of Paris's underworld, and to 
the City of Light's plushest mansions. He will face nightmares worse than anything he experienced 
in black ops--and let nothing and no one stop him from saving his daughter.

Best selling psychologist Gerald Williams, now at the height of his career, has a new client who 
seems to possess otherworldly abilities. His book has attracted her but for the first time he seems 
out of his depth. Is it his thoughts that are being read now? Not only that but is he also visiting 
other dimensions? He questions his colleague who is not so sure Gerald isn't losing his mind. But 
Gerald oddly feels whole and renewed and has learned many answers to lifelong questions. Yet there 
are new ones such as should he follow where this mysterious woman is taking him? Will he come back?
