Journalist Sharon Martin and her fiance, attorney Steve Peterson, stand on opposite sides of the capital punishmen debate. Sharon opposes the death sense, while Steve believes that murderers should be executed. But one night, when Steve's young son and Sharon are kidnapped by a madman, Sharon's beliefs are put to the ultimate test. She must stop their captor, even kill him if necessary, or she and the boy will surely die.
