The Desperate Hour

Suburbia. Morning. A ringing phone. A mother's ordinary jog fractures when she learns her son's school is under attack. Miles from the building, she confronts a ticking clock and impassable police barricades. Directed with terse efficiency; for fans of pulse-quickening thrillers.
