<DIV><b>On Christmas Eve, a lawyer helps a battered wife search for her kidnapped son</b></div><DIV><BR>As ex-husbands go, they don&rsquo;t get much worse than Carl. He&rsquo;s violent, drunken, and possessive&mdash;and worst of all, he&rsquo;s an ex-cop. Bonnie has remarried, and done everything she can to keep their son away from his father, but when Carl comes to terrorize them&mdash;stinking drunk on Christmas Eve&mdash;she cannot call the cops for help. After years of living in fear, she visits a legal aid office to arrange a restraining order. But by the time the lawyer starts the paperwork, it&rsquo;s already too late: Carl has kidnapped their son. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Bonnie&rsquo;s lawyer, an ex-priest named Megan McGee, has too much Christian spirit to turn the woman&rsquo;s case over to the corrupt local police. Together they comb the city in search of the boy, racing to find him before his father&rsquo;s affections become violent, and turn this white Christmas into a bloody one. </div>
