Grace (Larissa Dias) is staying clean after her latest rehab. Her mother Janie (Anne Heche) is supportive and hopeful. While doing a favor for a friend, Grace gets kidnapped by druggie former boyfriend Richie. She's locked in a motel room to be broken down for trafficking. Most think that she had fallen off the wagon again, but Janie is relentless in her search for her daughter. This is one of those Lifetime woman-in-trouble movie. It's noteworthy for being one of Anne Heche's final roles. Elisabeth Röhm is also trying her hand in directing. She seems to be functional, but nothing spectacular. First, Grace needs to fight harder. It's more realistic and much more compelling to push the action. The movie needs to increase the intensity at every turn and this fails to do that. There are also too many dumb characters. I wonder how much money the motel workers are getting paid to turn a blind eye to the scheme. Whatever it is, it is not enough. He's even late for the motel rental. It makes no sense. This is not a smart movie. I get that her repeated drug uses have worn down the family. In which case, the story would work better if the dad is gone and Janie is truly alone. All in all, this is a Lifetime movie and not a good one at that.

OK I really liked Anne Heche, and have seen a few of her movies. And her loss is very sad, but I must say that her acting in this Lifetime movie was abysmal. She was over the top with her emotions, and I must admit the script did not help at all. Some of the lines were so unrealistic and stupid that made me shake my head. The story had great potential and was good. The scenario was not at all far-fetched. Larissa Dias' performance was good. The husband and the detective were total douchebags. I am pretty sure in real life cops cannot be that uniterested in a situation like Grace's, especially even when CCTV footage of Grace's abduction was shown to the dimwit cop. Also the "missing" flyers did not begin to be handed out until day eight of the disappearance. This was a major unrealistic part of the movie. In real life I am sure flyers are made within the first 48 hours. Overall this was an average Lifetime movie, but like I said Heche's performance was a huge let down. And I agree with one viewer, to me also it seemed like she was high on something, coke maybe? After her tragic death they did confirm that she had used substances after all.

After three attempts at rehab, Grace (Larissa Dias) is finally off of opioids. She has a restaurant job and lives away from home. Her parents are realtors and have money to burn. They are very supportive. Grace gets tricked into seeing her ex-boyfriend who she claims is trouble. He abducts her and rapes her repeatedly preparing her to be a sex worker. He has a connection that will pay five thousand dollars for her after he samples the wares. The police won't do anything as Grace is an adult and former addict. They don't believe something is wrong so mom has to jump into action. This is a common Lifetime film theme. The sex traffic aspect provides enough titillation to attack and audience. Boring stuff. Guide: No swearing or nudity. Rape.

This movie might be based on a true story, but like someone else said, the plot was poorly executed! The acting was terrible and every scene was predictable. There were a couple scenes where the victim could have easily escaped and it was like a bad horror movie. Instead of signaling for help or running away, she runs 20 feet and hides. Anne Heche made some great movies throughout her career and I can't believe she starred in this garbage. Lifetime and Hallmark must have strict shooting schedules and a quota to produce so many movies a year. They need to slow their roll and start producing more quality content. I cant believe I gave up prime time Halloween movie watching for this.

Its a reimagining of a real story so a lot of fantasy fiction involved and the actors themselves couldn't pull off real emotion so its hard to like given the actors are acting and kind of poorly except the boyfriend actor he actually pulls off his role well but everyone else was probably a miscast as none really portrayed any feelings at all to me anyways. I really feel plastic people are not very good at acting anymore. I think actors who could portray real emotion would have better suited here for the "drama" this film is supposed to be showing to everyone who is watchin it. Its just disappointing as it could have been great had a few more decent actors been purchased.

Not much to this story... it's a simple plot without any realistic-seeming characters. The actors are fine but not well casted imo and nothig remarkable about any of them. This simple plot seems to serve a point rather than deliver anything imaginative or interesting; it seemed like it could have been a lot more but it was rushed to production rather than improving the script. I'd skip this unless you're really bored. (Argh more characters are required (for some reason) to submit this so I'll repeat.)

It's a typical lifetime movie, Anne Heche played Grace's mother, a recovering addict, avid swimmer and diver. It is supposed to be set in New Jersey but filmed in Canada. She is trying to restart her life, grace has a job at a restaurant. She gets lured into a false trap. Grace ends up getting kidnapped, raped and tortured in a motel room by an ex boyfriend. Her mother is out there trying to convince the police or her husband. I still can't find or stomach how she pleads for help only to be ignored, even when she finally escapes into the linen van, the hotel manager calls her captor. I hope it's not a true story.

I got through about 6 minutes of this movie and I think that was too long. The acting is horrible. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Anne Heche overacts and seems spastic. I don't know why they paired her with a man who looks half her age and she looks like his mother. There is absolutely no chemistry and their relationship as husband and wife is not believable at all. Her hairdresser either did an awful job on her hair or she just didn't bother to comb it. It looked unkempt. I know this is based on a true story. But this story needed better actors. I think Otis the dog is the best actor in the entire cast.

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse... Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud. With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be. By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie. Stay away at all cost, don't waste any time on this B movie crap. This movie is insanely terrible.
