Cameron
(Andy Whitfield, Spartacus:
Blood and Sand) and his pregnant wife Beth (Tabrett Bethell, Legend of the Seeker)
were just on a road trip to see his mother-in-law and stopped in an inn for the
night, but when Cameron goes for a late night walk and returns he find Beth
missing. Beth on the other hand wakes to
find her baby gone and trapped in a strange place with other women who are
similar to her... and someone is killing them one by one. Time runs out both Cameron and Beth, as they
become desperate and begin to discover the purpose of the 'clinic'.
What
started out as the happy couple on a trip soon turns into their worst
nightmare. Separated, one searches for
the other as the other searches for their baby and a way to escape the
nightmare. No one helps Cameron much
less tell the truth, Beth wakes to find herself in a bath-tub filled with ice
and her baby surgically removed. Now,
someone is playing a sadistic came of life and death, and the only way to get
their baby back is to play their game, but would you be willing to kill to get
your baby back?
This film/story is not for the faint of heart. It is any new parents’ nightmare to find
themselves in a situation like this, it is scary to think something like this
was based on a true story [though we doubt it]. Someone is willing to steal, kill, and pay
money for someone else’s baby. What would you do if to find out the truth,
no matter how horrible you might have to become or terror you
will have to face? The
main female character discover her own true nature and origins, can she
live with the truth much less get her baby back?
