Synopsis:

Never Promise, Never Lie. When a businesswoman (Emma Fielding) is kidnapped in South Africa, expert hostage negotiator Dominic King (Trevor Eve) believes he's dealing with a straightforward case - pay the money, get her back! But when the release is botched and they strike again in Britain, the kidnapper, Willard's (John Hannah) motives become far more sinister. With trouble brewing at home with his wife Sophie (Natasha Little) and teenage daughter - and his team, boss Angela (Helen Baxendale) and ambitious assistant Carrie (Amara Karan) pushed to the limit, King must draw on all his reserves to bring the victims home alive. Kidnap and Ransom stars Trevor Eve (Waking The Dead, Bouquet Of Barbed Wire), John Hannah (Spartacus, Four Weddings and a Funeral), Helen Baxendale (Friends, Cold Feet) and was created by Patrick Harbinson (24, Law & Order).

Expert British hostage negotiator Dominic King (Trevor Eve) is called upon when a businesswoman (Emma Fielding) from the UK is kidnapped in South Africa by a sinister figure named Willard (John Hannah). When the release of the woman goes wrong and Willard strikes again in Britain, King realizes this was never a straightforward case of kidnapping for ransom, and that the man's motives run much deeper than ever imagined. King, along with his superior, Angela (Helen Baxendale), and assistant, Carrie (Amara Karan), must now work against the clock to bring Willard's latest victims home alive.
