Mary Walsh (Murphy) delivers her boyfriend, Kevin Peterson (Cain), to a hospital for routine outpatient surgery. A nurse tells her the surgery will be exactly one hour. When she returns to take him home, he has mysteriously disappeared. An administrator (Rogers) can find no record of Kevin, and a police search turns up nothing. Increasingly frantic, Mary is taken to staff psychiatrist Dr. Bensley (Peter Bogdanovich), who pronounces her unstable. Now she must not only find her missing boyfriend, but prove her sanity as well.
When an older man informs Mary that he knows Kevin’s whereabouts and demands a $10 million ransom, she has one hour to comply ... and her boyfriend’s life hangs in the balance. Forced to embezzle the money from the bank where she works, Mary soon discovers the shocking truth behind the disappearance. Now time is running out and she must take matters into her own hands to save herself.[2]
Abandoned was shot in June 2009. It was Murphy's last film before her death on December 20, 2009.
Anchor Bay Entertainment acquired distribution rights in North America and released the film direct-to-video on August 24, 2010.[3]
