High and Low

A high-ranking executive at a Yokohama shoe company is unwittingly targeted by extortionists who mistake the son of his chauffeur for a valuable hostage, setting off a desperate race against time to secure the boy's safe return.

A successful entrepreneur receives a chilling demand: pay a hefty ransom to secure the safe return of his son, only to discover that the kidnapper has mistakenly taken the son of his loyal chauffeur instead. The kidnapper remains unyielding, threatening to harm the innocent child unless the ransom is paid, forcing the businessman to confront a moral crisis as he weighs the value of his son's life against the fate of his business deal.
