Plot
Jeff Corrigan (Patrick Duffy) is a dutiful CFO of an international corporation who knows too many secrets: His boss, Eric Loftin (Dominic Raacke), has been using the books to hide illegal activities, relying on Jeff to keep everything quiet. However, fitted with a wire and carrying a disc full of evidence, Jeff leaves the office one afternoon prepared to ruin Loftin with the FBI's assistance; led by agent Ellie Foster (Anne Marie Loder), the law enforcement team moves in and arrests Loftin, but not before he threatens Jeff's estranged family.
Foster immediately secures Jeff's wife Liz (Pam Dawber), daughter April (Tanja Reichert) and son Bram (David Kaye), keeping them secluded without any outside contact. This all comes as a surprise to the family since Jeff never told them he had been working in cahoots with the FBI. Loftin escapes, and along with his colleagues, spends his energy on finding the Corrigans and wiping them out. The victims move from hotel to hotel until they are eventually placed in a relocation program, forced to become one big happy unit while assuming a new identity. April, who will do anything to see her boyfriend again, runs away and risks everyone's safety. Forced to emerge in order to save her, Jeff confronts Loftin in a final showdown.
