For fans of heart-racing Misery ? Yes.
Location? Mafia-infested Russia - one of the most dangerous countries in the world.
"There's no bitch on earth like a mother frightened for her kids." ~ Stephen King
After the USSR collapses, a time reminiscent of the unforgiving gun-slinging days of the frontier west, mild-mannered Ethan and hot-blooded Sophia board a plane bound for corrupt crime-infested Russia. Armed only with a homespun plan, the desperate American couple hopes to to adopt a baby boy.
What can go wrong? Maybe, an innocent ill-fated encounter with the Mafia or maybe, being marked as a target for mob revenge. Perhaps, having to rely on a first-time adoption coordinator to complete the process and shelter them from harm. Honestly, what won't go wrong?
Crippled by circumstances - confined and monitored in a Moscow apartment, no language skills, no cell phone, no clue, no landline, no gun, no nearby family and a baby to protect, they have to find a way to out. What can go wrong? Everything.
