It has been six years since entertainment agent Myron
Bolitar last played superhero. In six years he hasn't
thrown a punch. He hasn�t held, much less fired, a gun.
He hasn't called his friend Win, still the scariest man he
knows, to back him up or get him out of trouble.
All
that is about to change... because of a promise.
The school year is almost over. Anxious families await word
of college acceptances. In these last pressure-cooker
months of high school, some kids will make the all-too-
common and all-too-dangerous mistake of drinking and
driving. But Myron is determined to help keep his friends'
children safe, and so he makes two neighborhood girls
promise him: If they are ever in a bind but are afraid to
call their parents, they must call him.
Several
nights later, the call comes at 2:00 am, and true to his
word, Myron picks up one of the girls in midtown Manhattan
and drives her to a quiet cul-de-sac in New Jersey where
she says her friend lives.
The next day, the girl's
parents discover that their daughter is missing. And that
Myron was the last person to see her. Desperate to fulfill
a well-intentioned promise turned nightmarishly wrong,
Myron races to find her before she's gone forever. But his
past will not be buried so easily - for trouble has always
stalked him, and his loved ones often suffer. Now Myron
must decide once and for all who he is and what he will
stand up for if he is to have any hope of saving a young
girl's life.
