As previously announced, TRAPPED stars Alexandra Paul ("Baywatch"), Nicholas Turturro ("NYPD Blue") and Dennis Christopher ("Breaking Away") and began principal photography in the Turks and Caicos Islands on February 22, 2006.

Barbara's presence is an invaluable addition in our ongoing efforts to bring the here! audience the standard of excellence it deserves," said here! Networks Founder and CEO Paul Colichman.

In TRAPPED, Alexandra Paul plays Samantha, an internet security expert who is struggling to balance work, her relationship with her girlfriend and the raising of her temperamental 16-year old daughter, Gwen. While on their way to a spa to spend much-needed mother/daughter quality time, Samantha and Gwen are kidnapped by the mysterious Adrien (Dennis Christopher) and the plot mastermind Elizabeth Kramer (Barbara Bain). Using Gwen as leverage, Adrien and Elizabeth force Samantha to hack her way into an FBI database and locate a woman hidden in the Witness Protection Program.

In a race against time, Samantha must break free of her kidnappers, save her daughter, and foil Adrien's plot to hunt down and kill the witness.  The film also includes out lesbian actress Michelle Wolff, star of award-winning festival favorite MANGO KISS.
