Synopsis:
Craig (Metcalfe) and Elise (Christensen) had all the ingredients for an ideal
life: a great marriage, a wonderful five-year-old son, a charming home
and a bright future.
Then,
on one sunny day, their perfect world is irrevocably shattered . Leaving their
five year old son, Ben, alone for only a moment, Craig is horrified to see him
being abducted from their own front yard. Sadly, the desperate police search
for the kidnapper proves to be in vain when the child is found dead. Craig is
wracked with guilt and Elise cannot forgive him. Their relationship
crumbles under the strain and Elise moves out – leaving each of them alone in
their private hell.
Months
later, a chance tip leads police to the suspect’s door, catching him red-handed
with another victim. Although Ben’s murderer is soon brought to trial,
the grieving parents are stunned when his sentence is considerably reduced by a
plea bargain. Utterly shocked and reunited by their outrage, Craig and
Elise agree that they cannot live another day until they rectify this
miscarriage of justice. Together they decide to seek their own retribution,
hatching a plot to kidnap the man and subject him to the same monstrous acts he
perpetrated against their helpless son.
