When she takes her son Tim to school she believes it will be just another day in the ordinary but things today will change. Dan has escaped from prison after longing to see his son and approaches the nearby playground where his son is attending. He recognises Tim and calls him over. Teachers unaware of whats happening he manages to lift his son over the gate and take him.
When the Lunch time has finished the children go back inside and a register is taken. Tim is nowhere to be seen and the teachers ring Allison to see if he has walked to his home. When Allison questions why they are asking this her heart suddenly drops and rushes to the school. The police have been rang and inform both the teacher and Allison that her husband has managed to escape from prison and are on the look out for him. To Alison’s despair she panics and drives around in her car looking for the boy but he is no where to be seen.
Dan is with Tim in an abandoned house and explains to his son that he wants to be in his life and does not deserve the outcome that he was given. It is then revealed that he was not abusive towards Allison but was framed by her as she was having an affair and wanted him out the picture.
