It takes just four minutes for Marin Machado's world to shatter beyond repair. While Christmas shopping at Seattle's Pike Place Market, she releases her four-year-old son Sebastian's hand for mere seconds to answer a text message. In that fleeting moment, he vanishes. Security footage later reveals the horrifying truth: Sebastian walked away willingly with someone dressed as Santa Claus, clutching the five-dollar lollipop he'd been begging for all morning. The kidnapper's face remains hidden behind the Santa beard and hat. They disappear through doors leading to an underground parking garage, and just like that, Sebastian is gone. What makes this opening scene so chilling is its ordinary setting - a bustling market during holiday shopping. The kidnapper exploits both Sebastian's innocent desire for a treat and the cultural symbolism of Santa Claus, a figure children are taught to trust. This calculated manipulation of childhood trust makes the abduction all the more disturbing. For Marin, the security footage becomes a form of torture, forcing her to repeatedly witness the moment her son slips away forever, fueling the crushing guilt that will define her existence in the months to come.
