Chevy is a spoiled country girl named Charlotte Westen. Chevy's parents send her to an Ivy League College then her father cuts her off financially when she runs up the credit card too many times. Desperate to pay the bills and tuition, she becomes an exotic dancer until she disappears, trapped on a yacht and taken to another country. Government agencies are working to put a stop to a dozen different men, from a dozen different countries responsible for thousands of missing women and children. Brandon, Chevy's boyfriend, reports her missing - when he finds who was responsible for her disappearance, he alerts Chevy's parents. The man who had Chevy taken from the country scrambles to have her killed. The people who have Chevy aren't willing to kill her. Instead, they hurry to get themselves and Chevy out of harms way. As Chevy's parents are desperately trying to find their daughter, they run into a well known reporter, Neal Collins. Neal's high profile reporting has come to a complete halt. He is in an unhappy relationship and working at an unfulfilling small town paper when he meets Chevy's parents. Suddenly, Neal sees a story he needs to capture and a girl he needs to rescue. Who took Chevy and can he have her killed before she makes it back to the states? Will Chevy's parents ever see their daughter again? Will Neal be able to catch his story, and rescue the girl?
