HELD BY RANSOM, a short film. A dog had 24 hours to live. He was saved by a woman 3000 miles away.

The story of how a dog in Georgia, who had 24 hours to live, was somehow rescued by a woman 3000 miles away in Los Angeles, their journey together, how it was cut short, and how he was saved again by one very special person, along with her equal-parts-special-supportive-community. But the real story is about how Ransom saves anyone and everyone who crosses his path, every day that he lives.
