Summary

Kim is an aspiring model at 20 years old when she is attacked by her friend and neighbor. After sexually assaulting her, the attacker stabs her and pours bleach on her body. John was on a guided trek in the jungle of Ecuador with his daughter when he is kidnapped and held hostage along with the guide. Over the course of 5 weeks John endures ransom negotiations and even attempts to escape as the camp in the wilderness. Charlene is spending time watching a movie with her husband and two sons when a couple, looking to buy a ring they were selling online, stops by. The sale, however, was a ruse as the couple instead hold the family at gunpoint and bring in two more armed assailants to rob the home.
