The career of young fashion model and cover girl Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) has taken off in New York City, capturing the attention of photographers and for better or worse, the public at large. On an evening out alone, Jennifer is stalked and drugged. She wakens in a stupor to find herself captive, confined to a cell.

A series of metal bins and numbered lockers randomly and abruptly swing open containing personal items taken from her apartment. She is forced to view videotapes containing images of tortured victims before her as well as videotaped interviews she had given in the past. Trapped, realizing there is no way out, Jennifer pleads and screams to anyone that might hear her. During her confinement, she is subjected to varied forms of psychological and sensory torture and kept continually drugged.

Jennifer eventually finds she is not alone. Gary (Daniel Gillies), a young man, is being held captive in an adjoining cell. The two make contact and try to find out why they are being held.

NYC police struggle for clues to Jennifer’s whereabouts. They suspect a meticulous serial killer who does nothing without careful preparation. Jennifer Tree’s life becomes increasingly endangered while detectives scramble to unravel the mystery behind the missing cover girl in a race against time.
