In Taken at a Truck Stop, Kai (Garcelle Beauvais), a tough, tenacious trucker and co-owner of her family’s business is thrown into a harrowing manhunt after her sister Madison’s (Marci T House) neurodivergent daughter, Toy (Sierra Sidwell), is abducted by an online predator. When law enforcement hits a dead end, Kai leverages her loyal trucking network and social media influence to launch a grassroots rescue mission to find her niece. The gripping story underscores the realities of online exploitation, the strength of community and the inequities in media coverage of missing girls of color. This installment of the Black Girl Missing franchise continues to shine a spotlight on stories too often overlooked, for its unflinching portrayal of the disparities in missing persons cases involving Black women and girls.

The Black Girl Missing franchise has garnered critical acclaim and multiple award recognitions, including a Gracie Award win for Made for TV Movie, an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Television Movie, an Astra Award win for Best Broadcast Network or Cable TV Movie and nominations for a NAMIC Vision Award and Black Reel Award for Television.
