They Took My Daughter highlights the return of seeing the sister duo Vanessa and Angela Simmons on screen as they play bestfriends in this feature film debut directed by Tim Cruz.
When her daughter vanishes, a single mother risks her life to rescue her from a trafficking network willing to kill to keep its secrets.
A mother's worst nightmare becomes reality when her daughter disappears after taking a job at an elite private club. Nikole (Angelique Valentine) is drawn in by the money and glamour, but her mother Adrianne (Vanessa Simmons) senses danger and demands she quit. When Nikole returns to leave the job behind, she witnesses a heinous crime and is kidnapped before she can expose what she saw.
Taken to a remote compound controlled by the dangerous Xavier (Jordi Vilasuso), where young women are held captive, Nikole becomes trapped in a hidden world of exploitation. With no help from the authorities and the club protecting its secrets at all costs, Adrianne takes matters into her own hands. Joined by her boyfriend Byron (Darrin Dewitt Henson) and her devoted friend Shellie (Angela Simmons), and fueled by her military training, Adrianne fights to uncover the truth and save her daughter before time runs out.
They Took My Daughter is directed by Tim Cruz and written by Scotty Mullen and Lynette J. Blackwell. The film is produced by Jacobo Rispa, with executive producers Donte Lee, Luca Rispa, Damián Romay, and Tressa Azarel Smallwood.
