It's June 1994. Hyun Jae Eden (Jamie Chung) works at the family store. She goes to a bar with her friend Abbie and a fake ID. She meets Jesse and gets a ride home from him. She notices that he's a fake fireman but it's too late. She's kidnapped. Federal Marshall Bob Gault (Beau Bridges) kills a Deputy and a local who found a dead girl in a ditch. He runs a rape camp that has many girls imprisoned out in the desert. After a year, Eden starts to befriend the crack smoking lackey Vaughan.
It's not realistic enough to be harrowing or compelling. It's not horrific enough to be scary. It's not a thriller. The problem is that it plays more like a B-level horror without any scares. It is simply one ugliness after another. Eden needs to plot an escape and make this more like a prison movie. Jamie Chung tries to maintain a realism to her performance showing flashes of humanity while keeping her facade. It's a functional drama.
