The son of a wealthy but separated, couple is kidnapped. The abductors are a couple with issues: the man is an alcoholic while the woman is near the end of her endurance in dealing with her husband. On top of all that, the kidnapped boy has become seriously sick. Erskine and Colby lead the bureau's manhunt. But, with the boy's condition worsening, the question is whether they can break the case in time.
