 Over a three-day period a masked gunman kidnaps nine strangers in nine separate attacks. The LAPD is left powerless as the gunman takes who ever he needs without leaving clues, ransom demands or bodies behind. The city-wide mystery unravels when the LAPD receive a call from the local news station telling them the website shows the nine kidnap victims handcuffed to poles in an undisclosed location. The kidnapper enters the room and says, "I have brought the nine of you here for a reason. Your survival depends on you discovering what the reason is. I will leave you alone for your discussion but I will return every 10 minutes and kill one of you until you figure it out or you will all die. You have ten minutes." And with that, the hunt is set in motion: the hunt for the truth that the nine need in order to survive and the hunt by the LAPD to find the secret location and stop the cold-blooded killer hell bent on revenge. All while the whole country tunes in on-line.
