Story

A San Francisco detective's young son needs a life-saving bone marrow transplant, and the only compatible donor is a convicted serial killer imprisoned in the city. When the inmate seizes the hospital visit as a chance to escape, the officer finds himself in an impossible situation—he must track down the dangerous fugitive while keeping him alive, since the criminal remains his son's only chance at survival.
