Connected tells the story of Bob Koo, a single father who receives a distressing phone call on his cellular phone from Grace Wong Hsu, a woman who has been kidnapped by a gang of corrupt Interpol agents who have a hidden agenda.

While Grace Wong is driving her vehicle, her car is knocked down by another vehicle and she is abducted from the scene. The kidnappers, led by Fok Taknang, return to Graces house, where they kill her maid, and start searching the place. Grace is then taken to an abandoned house, where she manages to repair a destroyed telephone. With the phone, she manages to contact Bob, a single father and debt collector. Bob has promised his son, Kitkit, and his sister, Jeannie, that he will meet them at an airport, before Kitkit boards a flight to Australia.While talking to Grace on his cellular phone, Bob agrees to help Grace and hands his phone to patrol officer Fai, who believes that the distressing phone call is a prank, due to Bobs reckless driving. Grace is interrupted from the call when Fok and his men enter the room, having abducted her brothers friend, Joe. Fok forces Grace to contact her brother, Roy. After listening to Roys answering machine, Fok kills Joe and leaves with his men, now planning to go after Graces daughter, Tinker. Grace persuades Bob to head to the school and find her daughter before Foks men do. When Bob arrives, he is distracted by the schools headmaster, and minutes before the schools class dismissal, he finds Tinker too late, when she is abducted by Foks men. Bob goes after the abductors, but winds up losing sight of them in the struggle. After crashing through a truck, Bob later finds a handgun left in his car by a fellow debt collector. ........
