Realizing their mistake, they do what they should have done in the first place, they call the police.
Wellington detectives Chris Spacey and Andy Thompson get lucky and catch the sadistic kidnapper, but he escapes from custody, two more children disappear and a desperate hunt begins. Set in Wellington, New Zealand over a period of one grueling week, Bad Chillies tells a story about a darker side of human nature.
