On a suburban street, two masked men seize a young woman. They bind and gag her and take her to an abandoned, soundproofed apartment. She is Alice Creed, daughter of a millionaire.
Her kidnappers, the coldly efficient Vic and his younger accomplice Danny, have worked out a meticulous plan. But Alice is not going to play the perfect victim, she’s not giving in without a fight.
In a tense power-play of greed, duplicity and survival we discover that sometimes disappearances can be deceptive.
