A personal injury lawyer receives a call from his wife Annie while he's at work. She asks him about fingerprinting their two young twin boys, Lee and Bobby, in response to a rise in child abductions around the nation. Both Annie and the lawyer's mother think that fingerprinting is the best way to keep them safe. The lawyer disagrees. When he gets home, the lawyer greets his boys, and his wife tells him to call his mother. Over the phone, the lawyer and his mother have a heated argument that they've had many times before, with the lawyer insisting that taking the boys' fingerprints won't do any good at preventing a kidnapping and that fingerprints are only used for identifying bodies. The lawyer and his wife try not to make too many rules for their kids, so the lawyer's insistence that they cannot get their fingerprints taken upsets Annie. Additionally, the lawyer complains about the brand of milk they buy. Hilltop Green began printing missing children profiles on the backs of their cartons, which upsets the lawyer. One night at the grocery store, he flips all the cartons around to show the pictures of the children, but rather than making a statement like he wanted, it makes him more frightened than before. The next morning, he takes a day trip to Denver for a case on which he's working. As he travels, his paranoia grows, and he imagines what the missing profiles would look like for all the children he sees. When he finishes his work assignment, he gets home late and sees his mother's car in the driveway. Inside the house, he finds folders from the fingerprint agency. As he hears Annie and his mother in another room watching television, the lawyer sneaks into Bobby and Lee's room and quietly takes them out to the car, bringing their sippy cups with them. He begins driving away from the house, unsure where he's going. Awhile later, Bobby starts whining for his teddy bear, and the lawyer realizes that he will have to go home. He figures that Annie has found that the twins are missing and knows it was her husband who took them and that the three of them will come home. To calm Bobby down, the lawyer begins singing to him. He realizes that his family is safe, even though being a parent has made him afraid.
