In a small New York town, Haley Corbin's son Noah is one of more than a hundred children trapped in the local school, held hostage by a deranged young man. Having rigged the gym with explosives, the authorities fear he may be in communication with others who are directing the assault. Is he alone or part of a conspiracy? The tense standoff goes on for more than 36 hours. The gymnasium does explode, although the children have all escaped, led through a utility access tunnel by wily little Noah, who had previously hidden there when he wanted to be alone.When the deranged man is finally killed and the students are safe, the only one missing is ten-year-old Noah Corbin. Enter Randall Shane to determine what happened and why.
