Patti Randal is a bored and angry teen who is sick of her quiet and boring town of Edgefield. She wishes for more adventure and excitement to come to her boring town. She gets her wish when her pet cat DC walks into the kidnappers hideout during his nightly prowl where Lizzie gives him a watch with HELL scribbled on it. She intended to fully write HELP on it, but had to nix on finishing and quickly put it on DC in such way to avoid being caught when the kidnappers phone rings near her.Patti sees the watch the next morning and immediately puts it together that the watch was from Lizzie and was meant to say HELP. Nobody believes Patti, causing her to doctor the evidence by turning the last L on the watch into a P. She goes to Boston and pleads her case to Agent Zeke Kelso at the FBI and he believes her. ........
