Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A Filipino chauffer races to save his daughter from vicious kidnappers after she is abducted in a terrifying case of mistaken identity. Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes) is a husband and father employed as a driver by crooked politician Manuel Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias). One day, Marlon and his own daughter are taking Chango's daughter home when their car is suddenly surrounded by a gang of kidnappers. Though the abductors had intended to take the politician's child, in their haste they accidentally take Marlon's little girl instead. Now, with his daughter being held for ransom, the desperate father will do anything to get her back safely. But it won't be easy, because in the realm of corrupt politics innocence comes cheap, and appearances can be deceptive.
