A kidnapped girl. A terrified Cape Cod. And a police cadet in way over his head...

Police cadet Pepper Ryan's biggest worries are a crummy love life and doubts about his supposedly bright future. Until a teenage girl is brazenly kidnapped, stunning her beach town.

The police launch a manhunt to catch the kidnapper, nicknamed the Greenhead Snatcher. Pepper tries to locate the girl himself, but only finds trouble.

Then the Greenhead Snatcher strikes again.

Pepper fights to untangle suspects and clues, and the pressure intensifies when he stupidly promises a family that he'll bring their daughter home alive, or die trying...

As time runs out, Pepper attempts to find the girls and expose the shocking truth about the serial kidnappings. Will Pepper's desperate gamble succeed? Or will he lose everything?
