A woman drives to a dark forest at night, following a man's directions through winding roads: she walks to a clearing and sees a broken cell phone and an empty syringe, she looks into a deep hole in the ground and sees a dead woman with blood on her head, someone pushes her into the hole, and a man climbs down into the hole and tries to attack her using a long stone knife; she kicks him in the knees twice, draws a handgun and shoots him three times (we see some dots of blood and he is knocked down), she climbs out of the hole, looks back into it and shoots the man in the knee as he whimpers (we see a little blood), and then she pours kerosene into the hole, tosses in a lit camping lantern and walks away as we see the hole erupt in flames and hear the man scream loudly twice.
A woman shoots a man three times and throws the gun into a thick forest from her car.
Several flashbacks show a woman awakened in bed at night by a man duct-taping her mouth and chloroforming her: she is then shown in a deep hole in the woods, where she removes the duct tape with her teeth and fingers, finds a human shin bone and screams, finds a hairclip attached to a long lock of brown hair, she digs in the dirt and finds jewelry and small pieces of what could be human or animal skin; a man climbs down into the hole and she subdues him with an arm lock and a punch, she climbs out and escapes.
An unconscious woman awakens in the crawlspace under her front porch to find her mouth duct-taped and wrists taped together; we see dirt, cobwebs and spiders as she pulls the tape off with her fingers and teeth, kicks open a thin door that was nailed shut and releases herself; she approaches friends and police officers at her house, cries and shouts for them to find her sister.
We see several snapshots of college women arriving in the mail of a police supervisor; the women are shown with duct-taped mouths and bound wrists, dirty and unconscious, and under the photos is a map showing where they are buried in one large, deep hole.

In a Krav Maga self-defense class, we see women and men attack partners and get punched, pinched, knocked down, arm-locked, pounded hard with fists and eye-gouged (we see some reddened skin on faces and arms); an instructor pulls a woman off a man and tells her to cool down.
A woman in a police station argues with a panel of detectives about her sister's kidnapping and they belittle her; she cries, shouts several times, leaves and when the detectives call her cell phone, she tells them to leave her alone until a serial killer is dead.
Throughout the film, a woman is hyper attentive to her surroundings and wary of being kidnapped a second time (her first time was a horrible ordeal that took place one year earlier).
