Power can't protect you.
Animals streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
After the son of a mayoral candidate is kidnapped, the candidate and his wife have only a few hours to find the ransom. With most of their money tied up in the campaign, they must take desperate steps that bring hidden parts of their lives into view.
