Left is the true story of a million dollar kidnapping gone wrong and the elusive hunt for the criminal mastermind behind it all.

A man lies face up in the dark predawn of the Mojave Desert. Hands bound behind his back, legs bound together, he's covered in bleach and blood. His penis has been brutally sawed off. "Somebody, please help!" A woman screams into the cold blue sunrise. She's blindfolded, in pain, and walking aimlessly toward the highway. They have just been assaulted by a stranger who is demanding a million dollars in buried treasure.

From murdering his best friend to high-speed chases, breaking out of prison, and cold-blooded guile, this is the story of international fugitive Hossein Nayeri, as told by Lieutenant Ryan Peters of Orange County.
