Hostage is an adrenaline-fueled crime thriller that follows three childhood friends-Roy, Ken, and Bob-as they climb the violent ranks of a powerful organized crime syndicate. What began as petty extortion and intimidation in grade school has evolved into their adult lives as trusted fixers, men who quietly dispose of problems for their boss without hesitation. Their loyalty and precision have earned them security in a dangerous world-until one night, a job goes catastrophically wrong. Ordered to keep a target alive, the trio panics when they realize they've already disposed of him. With time running out and their lives on the line, Roy, Ken, and Bob are forced into a desperate cover-up that spirals into paranoia, betrayal, and bloodshed. Every decision pushes them closer to exposure, and the unshakable bond between them begins to fracture. Hostage is a tense, character-driven story about loyalty, survival, and the price of following orders in a world where trust is the rarest currency of all.
