Plot Synopsis

8 MINUTES is a one-hour reality series that follows Houston-based Pastor Kevin Brown and his team of volunteers at Passage To Freedom, as they help sex workers and victims of sex trafficking leave their dangerous situations behind to start over. With over 20 years of law enforcement experience, Brown has determined that eight minutes is the maximum amount of time to safely convince these women to leave with his team -- any longer puts everyone's lives at risk. Now, with the help of strategically placed hidden cameras, the team undertakes harrowing undercover missions to offer help to women they believe may be in danger. In a non-descript hotel room, Brown poses as a client and once he establishes his credentials, he then brings in a victim's advocate -- a woman who has successfully escaped being trafficked herself. In the first season Brown encounters more than forty women, ranging from one who saw her twin sister killed in front of her to another woman sold at the age of 10 by a family friend.
