"Cronin is particularly fascinated with dangerously unstable family dynamics: Parents who fail to protect their children, children who wish harm upon their parents, siblings torturing each other as well as Mom and Dad."
"These scenes are shocking - blasphemous, even, although they don't desecrate any particular god so much as the idea of safety within the family unit."
"The instability is introduced early on, as international correspondent Charlie Cannon and his wife Larissa experience every parent's worst nightmare when their nine-year-old daughter Katie is snatched from their leafy backyard."
"The Cannons leave Egypt and go back to Larissa's hometown in Albuquerque, New Mexico to mourn."
