Amy feels fortunate to land a babysitting job for a wealthy family until two petty criminals show up to kidnap both her and her charge. Trapped in a rustic shack, Amy must use her gumption and creativity to ensure rescue or escape. There's some pedestrian dialogue to get through, but Amy's interior conflict is gripping and believable.
