The Call

There are 188 million 911 calls a year. This one made it personal.

After failing to help a young woman during a 911 emergency call, an operator quits the call centre and instead spends her time training police. About six months later, she becomes involved when another young woman calls from inside a locked car boot. Unable to get a decent location, she and the police work frantically against the clock to rescue the victim before she is also killed.
