When Love Departs

The Story

Adrian abandons his daughter Esther in a sweltering vehicle to pursue time with Stacey and her son Lucas. The intense summer heat rapidly overheats the car, causing the engine to shut down and killing the air conditioning. Trapped alone inside, Esther faces life-threatening temperatures while desperately begging her father for rescue. Adrian simply hangs up on her calls. Esther manages to reach her mother Claire before her tablet battery dies, but the device fails before she can transmit her location. Now desperate, Claire searches frantically for her missing child. The rising heat inside the car continues to threaten Esther’s life as her father ignores her pleas and her mother races against time to find her.
