Synopsis

After his six-year-old daughter and her best friend are kidnapped on Thanksgiving, small town carpenter Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) butts heads with young, brash detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) in charge of the investigation. After searching, Dover's son mentions an old RV, owned by Alex Jones (Paul Dano). Feeling failed by the law, Dover captures Jones, the man he believes responsible, holding him captive in a desperate attempt to find out what he did with the girls, whom he's convinced are still alive. But the further he goes to get the man to confess, the closer he comes to losing his soul.
