KIDNAPPING STELLA
Two masked men kidnap a young woman in broad daylight in the middle of the street. They bind and gag her and take her to an abandoned, soundproofed apartment. She is Stella, the daughter of a millionaire. Her kidnappers, the coldly efficient Vic and his younger accomplice Tom, have worked out a detailed plan. But Stella is not going to play the perfect victim. She's not going to give up without a fight.
