Plot Summary

In the fictional city of Conyers, Pennsylvania, the Dover and Birch families celebrate Thanksgiving together. After dinner, girls Anna Dover and Joy Birch go missing after playing on a parked RV. Detective Loki responds to a police call about an RV matching the description and arrests the man inside, Alex Jones. During interrogation, Loki realizes Alex’s diminished IQ prevents him from planning a kidnapping and his RV contains no forensic evidence. Loki runs down leads on local sex offenders and finds a corpse in the house of priest Patrick Dunn. Dunn admits to killing him after the man confessed to murdering 16 children for his “war on God”.

The police release Alex to his aunt, Holly. Convinced of Alex’s guilt, Keller Dover, the father of Anna, assaults him outside the police station, where Alex whispers to him, “They didn’t cry ’til I left them.” After Loki finds no proof of this, Keller kidnaps Alex and takes him to an empty building Keller owns. With the reluctant help of Joy’s father, Franklin Birch, Keller begins to torture Alex for information about their daughters. Franklin’s wife Nancy convinces Franklin to stop, but the pair decide not to stop Keller or alert the police. At a vigil for the girls, Loki approaches a suspicious man who flees. Loki releases a sketch of him to the community.

The suspect sneaks into the Birch and Dover houses. Grace, Keller’s wife, hears him and calls Loki. He tails Keller to the empty building, where Keller claims he goes to drink, but Loki does not find Alex. Loki arrests the suspect, Bob Taylor, at his house. The walls are covered in maze drawings and Loki opens crates filled with snakes and bloody children’s clothes. Loki shows Keller and the Birch parents photos of the bloody clothes, and they identify several as Joy’s and Anna’s.
