At the age of nine, Cassie Malloy was kidnapped and locked in a basement for two days. Nineteen years later, the traumatized Cassie studies psychology at the Braxton University and needs to work on her thesis. Cassie decides to accept a four-week job working alone in an isolated fire watch tower in the forest to vanquish her demons from the past. Cassie leaves her best friend Andrea and travels to the spot, where she meets the forest guard Rhett that brings Cassie to the tower. Cassie feels the effect of the isolation and experiences weird things but she is comforted by Polly, the lookout of the east tower. When Rhett visits Cassie, she learns that Polly died five years ago in a fire. Cassie decides to quit her job, but Rhett recalls her that she signed a contract and he needs at least two days to find a replacement. Cassie agrees to stay while Andrea receives a strange phone call for Cassie.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

As the movie opens, the viewer sees a young girl in her bedroom at night. She hears a noise and, although frightened, goes to check it out. As she crosses her room, we see--at the same time as the little girl--a terrifying-looking woman, dressed in a white hospital gown, reaching out for the girl. The next scene is an aerial shot of the little girl, who has been locked in a small room (we later learn it's a basement), and the little girl is pounding on the door and demanding to be let out. The aerial shot doesn't change, but by the changing light from the crack under the door we can see that a couple days have passed. Then we, and the girl, hear men's voices shouting, "Get your hands up!" and "Where's the girl?". Then, the door opens and a police officer goes to the little girl and asks, "Cassie? Are you Cassie Malloy?" He picks her up and carries her out of her temporary prison.

As the next scene opens, the words "Nineteen Years Later" flash on the screen, and we see a young woman of mid-twenties age, whom we can assume is the abducted girl from the first scene--Cassie.
