Kidnapped

Kidnapped is a classic femme fatale tale of passionate love turned to consuming hate.
Consumed by the need for vengeance, Zelma sets up Baraka – her ex and his new young girlfriend on a roller coaster of terror.
Kidnapped is a gripping tale of survival for the fittest. Any weakness will be exploited. When love turns to hate nothing can stop the destruction in its wake.
