When Love Walked Away

A father abandons his daughter in a deadly hot car to visit an old love.

Adrian locks Esther inside a vehicle on a scorching day and walks away to spend time with Stacy, his childhood sweetheart, and her son Lucas. The engine dies, killing the air conditioning, and the cabin becomes a furnace that pushes the girl toward heatstroke and the edge of consciousness. She manages to dial her father, but he disconnects without listening. Her final attempt reaches her mother Claire through a dying tablet, yet the battery fails before Esther can reveal where she is, launching a desperate search.
