About Kidnap & Rescue
KIDNAP & RESCUE is a provocative new series about kidnapping and the rescuers with the courage to go where no one else can — risking violent reprisal to reclaim innocent victims, inside our borders and beyond. Whether it's a high-profile executive being held for ransom, a child sold overseas or a DEA agent taken by a vengeful cartel, the hope of every victim lies in the hands of the few with the training and dedication to bring them home. Kidnap & Rescue takes Discovery Channel viewers deep into a shadow world of astonishing cruelty and terrifying extremes.

Each unforgettable story, told across 10 episodes, unfolds through firsthand accounts and cinematic reimaginings of the kidnap, the planning of the rescue and the recovery itself, to outcomes both triumphant and tragic. To fight the evolving threat, kidnap-and-rescue firms specialize in securing "high net worth" clients, providing cutting-edge surveillance on the U.S./Mexico border and orchestrating the collapse of human trafficking rings. Regardless of the mission, the motivations are the same: get everyone back alive, no matter the danger involved

  • HALO Corporation, a San Diego-based security firm founded by Brad Barker and his team of former special operations, national security and intelligence personnel. Together they work to provide security and humanitarian aid along the U.S./Mexico border.
