The Guilty (2021)



Made for Netflix, airing on instant streaming, October 1st in the US.
Filmed in California.
The story: Wildfires are currently taking over Los Angeles.
This keeps the LAPD super busy, not to mention there is a complete lack of patrol cars to go around for normal emergencies.
Joe Baylor is working as a 911 dispatcher after getting in trouble in the line of duty.
He is annoyed, impatient, struggling with the air quality, and going through a separation which causes him to not get to see his young daughter as much as he would like.
Joe has been taking routine 911 calls all morning until he gets a really serious one.
A woman calls him from her cell phone and from what Joe can make out, she has been abducted.
He does his best to help, going above and beyond, and asking as many questions as possible.
The call consumes Joe until he can make sure for certain that the woman is safe.
