DESPERATE MEASURES

A San Francisco police officer is frantically in search of a compatible bone marrow donor for his gravely ill son. He finally finds a potential donor, but must confront the fact that the man is a convicted multiple murderer who sees this trip to the hospital as his only chance to escape to freedom. The murderer escapes and the hospital becomes a battleground. The police officer must find and protect the deadly fugitive as he’s his son’s only hope for survival.
