As Becca and Kate fight captivity, Matt enters frantic negotiations with Amal, while struggling to understand the strange new world of kidnap and ransom threatening all forms of international aid.
Will Matt succeed before time runs out? Do Becca and Kate survive? When Darkness Falls, what will each of them discover?
