PINK CADILLAC

“It takes a real man to bring in a lady in a pink Cadillac.”

A skip tracer helps out a bail-jumper after her child is kidnapped by a group of ethno-nationalist thugs, of which her husband is a member, going by the name of Birthright. The baby is taken as leverage because, although initially oblivious, she has their money!
