Set in the dead of winter among the affluent suburbs and the inner city streets of our nation's capital, Drastic Measures contrasts the lives of two strangers bound by fate: Zach Taylor, a married, 35-year-old Harvard financial consultant on the verge of bankruptcy; and Sammy Biddle, a 55-year-old church custodian and veteran tormented by flashbacks of the Vietnam War. His life spiraling out of control, Zach confronts his greatest challenge when his wife, Jenny, is abducted in exchange for $25,000 he stole from a merciless drug dealer named Luther. When Zach and Sammy cross paths, Zach discovers the connection Luther and Sammy share -- and in the end, Zach learns hard lessons about friends and money as a violent confrontation with an unexpected twist leaves Sammy in peril and the fate of Zach and Jenny in the hands of a dubious ally.
