Casting Call for "10-57" Feature Film

SYNOPSIS: Missing Person Unit’s Detective Jane Scott is considered a hero, even though the humbled woman is simply doing her job when she recovers hostages from kidnapping for ransom situations. However the rules of the game are thrown out the window when two kids go missing and the suspected abductor is her, former partner and one time lover, Ray Unic. Due to an incident in the line of duty, this one time hero as well, now suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and clouded by his obsession for Detective Scott, he is able to stay one step ahead of the cops, knowing their exact procedure for kidnapping for ransom cases. Detective Jane Scott tracks her certifiable ex partner to an old farmhouse and goes toe to toe with him, knowing that this volatile situation could explode at any moment.
