By bringing Donatti into the fray, Gabe, Peter, Rina know they have made a deal with the devil--but with Terry on the verge of death, they have no choice. 

  As these unlikely allies rally to find the kidnappers of Terry's children before things end tragically, they race headlong toward and explosive confrontation from which no one will emerge unscathed...
