New York City of the early 1990s was a dangerous place averaging more than six murders a day. Good parents held onto their children with all their strength. Luis Ramos was one such parent. When his daughter, Jasmine, goes missing, he will do all in his power to bring her back home safely, but will it be enough? What can one man do if an entire city turns its back on him and his child?
