Story
On the couple's tenth anniversary, Linda's husband flies their daughter to New Jersey to attend his ex's birthday party. Kidnappers seize all three and demand $3 million, but he can raise only $2 million. The kidnappers allow only two to leave, and he leaves Linda behind. Three years later she returns to find her daughter calling his ex 'Mom', and Linda now runs Hastings Capital.
