The Runner

The morning of Maya, a successful London lawyer, begins as usual: getting her son ready and taking him to school, then squeezing in a run before work. But in an instant, her familiar routine is shattered when she receives a call from a stranger with a calm, icy voice. He tells her that her son has been kidnapped, and that to get him back alive, she must follow his instructions to the letter. What follows is an adrenaline-fueled race against time across the city, with no chance to stop and no one to turn to for help. Maya’s only weapons are her resourcefulness, composure, and a mother’s determination, which must keep her from losing control or making a mistake as she faces an opponent who always seems to anticipate her next move.
