About Deadline:

Your child has been kidnapped.

You're live on television.

Going live in 10, 9, 8 . . .

Today is a huge day for TV reporter Rose's career. A live interview with one of the most powerful men in the country, on one of the nation's biggest TV shows.

7, 6, 5 . . .

But, when she hears an unfamiliar voice in her ear, she knows something is very wrong.

Her earpiece has been hacked. She's live on air in the middle of the interview. They tell her they have kidnapped her family.
