An ex-con kidnaps a baby at gunpoint in Utah; during a high-speed chase, the suspect calls 911 and threatens to kill the child, firing at officers to prove he is serious; he offers the police a trade: the baby's life for his freedom.

Police race through the night, pursuing an armed car thief; when an officer comes to the aid of a suspect's dogs, his act of kindness gets shot down in a hail of bullets; a couple's beef turns an officer's day on its head.
