Plot

In the heart of Paris, the renowned American surgeon, Dr. Richard Walker, finds himself entangled in a web of mystery and danger. Traveling with his wife, Sondra, they return to the City of Light, a place of fond memories from their honeymoon, with the intention to rekindle their love amidst a professional medical conference. However, the serene reminiscence of their past trip swiftly turns into a chilling nightmare. In the midst of their hotel room, an innocent mistake – the mix up of a suitcase – sets the stage for a series of terrifying events. As Richard enjoys a shower, a sudden phone call lures Sondra away. Awakening from a sleep, Richard discovers his wife's unnerving absence. Despite his desperation, language barriers and the indifference of the French police and American embassy thwart his attempts to find Sondra. The peculiar circumstances of her disappearance only deepen the intrigue, pushing Richard into the shadowy, unfamiliar depths of Paris's punk and drug culture. However, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of Michelle, a small-time drug smuggler and the original owner of the mistaken suitcase. Driven by an unlikely alliance, Richard and Michelle delve into the sinister underbelly of Paris, determined to unravel the mysteries and reclaim Sondra from her unseen captors. In the pursuit of his missing wife, Dr. Walker's journey blurs the lines between his hitherto ordinary life and the dark, unknown world he has stumbled into. Frantic is a gripping tale of love, desperation, and courage, where a man's quest to find his missing wife thrusts him into a chilling race against time.
