Prisoners

In Conyers, Pennsylvania, the Dover and Birch families celebrate Thanksgiving. 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 learns that his RV contains no forensic evidence of the missing girls. Loki runs down leads on local pedophiles and finds a corpse in the house of Priest Patrick Dunn. Dunn admits to killing him after the man confessed to murdering sixteen children for his “war on God”.

The police captain releases Alex to his aunt, Holly. Convinced of Alex’s guilt, Keller Dover, the father of one of the missing girls, 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 begins to torture Alex for information about his daughter, in an empty building Keller owns.
