A brutal, claustrophobic slasher centered on a kidnapped child's decade-long captivity with a serial killer, built on sustained dread and graphic horror.

It's ten years after the kidnapping of Martin Bristol. Taken from a backyard swing at his home at the age of six, he is forced to witness unspeakable crimes of a deranged madman. For years, Martin's whereabouts have remained a mystery...until now.
