After a routine speed trap leads to a messy accident on a city highway, Chris and Gail find one of the cars mysteriously empty and quickly realize that its license plate matches the one being broadcast in a citywide “Amber Alert” – a nine-year old girl has been abducted and the driver of the vehicle is the prime suspect.
