Missing follows Michael Lucas as he enlists the help of Jonathan Agassi and they become tangled in a suspenseful and action-packed search for Diego Cruz in the gritty and dangerous underworld of Spain. While vacationing in Barcelona, young sex-pup Diego is seduced by hot local man Pavlvs Guell. All is going well until Diego realizes it's a set-up and is then gagged, bagged and kidnapped.
