Disclosure: certain links are commissioned.

A man leaves his child locked in a failing car to visit his first love.

Adrian strands his daughter Esther inside a vehicle on a blistering summer day to spend time with Stacy, his childhood sweetheart, and her son Lucas. When the engine dies, the air conditioning fails and the cabin temperature surges toward lethal levels. Esther fights fading consciousness to dial her father, but Adrian ends the call without hearing her. She manages a final video connection to her mother Claire using a dying tablet, yet the battery expires before she can reveal her location. Claire launches a desperate search to locate her daughter before the heat claims her.
