Desperate Mother's Daring Rescue Mission to Find Abducted Daughter

In October 2025, the Lifetime movie "Taken in Plain Sight" has surged in popularity on Netflix, crashing the platform's top 10 list. The thriller, which premiered on the Lifetime Channel earlier this year, follows the story of a mother's desperate quest to find her abducted daughter.

The film centers around Abby (Tennille Read) and her daughter Zooey (KJ Romani), who embark on a road trip that ends in tragedy. While Zooey is momentarily out of Abby's sight at a rest stop, she is abducted - a parent's worst nightmare. After months of searching, the police have made no progress in catching the culprit. Convinced she has identified the suspect, Abby decides to take matters into her own hands when the authorities dismiss her claims.

Abby's search for her daughter and the truth becomes even darker than she imagined, pushing her to see how far she will go to save Zooey. While "Taken in Plain Sight" doesn't reinvent the thriller genre, it delivers the thrills and plot twists that fans of such stories have come to expect. Director Cat Hostick skillfully builds tension and delivers satisfying shocks, making the film a compelling watch for those seeking a guilty pleasure.
