Plot Synopsis

Former NYPD detective Joe Mazzilli and his team track and rescue runaways -- often extracting them from dangerous situations -- and bring them back to their families. Each case begins with Mazzilli evaluating the parents to make sure the squad is returning the runaway to a safe and loving home. Once he takes the case, his team works against the clock to bring home the young adult quickly since the runaway is usually in danger due to drugs, sexual assaults or prostitution. After reuniting the family, Mazzilli's not-for-profit organization, the Runaways Assistance Program (R.A.P.), helps the runaway receive the appropriate evaluation and treatment for drug or behavioral problems in a secure facility. Each episode focuses on a single runaway with the premiere highlighting the story of a 15-year-old runaway who has been missing from her Long Island home for nine months.
