About Twenty Minutes to Live
When five-year-old Hugo falls from a window into a swimming pool, stranger Mia risks everything to save him. With only minutes left to reach the hospital, an entitled woman named Karen blocks the ambulance over damage to her red Mustang. She insults the rescuers, attacks bystanders, hides her car keys, and even chases the replacement vehicle carrying the dying child. What Karen does not know is that the boy whose rescue she is sabotaging is her own neglected son.
