Kidnapping Stella

Vic and Tom devise a plan to kidnap Stella, the estranged daughter of a wealthy businessman. As part of their scheme, they take her to a soundproofed flat, where they subdue her and prepare for ransom demands.

Once in the flat, Stella is stripped of her clothes, dressed in a tracksuit, and tied to a bed. To mask their identities, Vic and Tom wear masks while they interact with her, heightening the tension of the situation.

It is unveiled that Tom, one of Stella's kidnappers, is actually her former lover. Stella is four months pregnant with Tom's child, adding a complicated layer to their tragic situation.

Stella's father initially refuses to negotiate and pay the ransom for her release. This financial denial creates tension among the kidnappers and challenges their already fragile plan.

As tensions rise, Tom grows increasingly disillusioned with the plan when Vic threatens to mutilate Stella. The threat is broadcasted to her father via video, creating a more desperate scenario.

Discovering Tom's identity, Stella seizes an opportunity to escape by firing a pistol and grabbing one of the kidnapper's cellphones. However, her attempt is thwarted by Tom, who is conflicted about their situation.

Vic learns of Stella's escape attempt and uses it to lure Tom into a trap under the guise of collecting ransom. The confrontation in the forest leads to a violent shootout between the two men.

During the chaos of the shootout, Tom is shot but manages to escape. This injury deepens the rift between him and Vic and shows the dangerous lengths they have taken in pursuit of their plan.

Vic ultimately collects the ransom money from Stella’s father, believing their troubles are over. However, he soon reveals his true intentions regarding Stella's fate, adding tension to the film's climax.

At their secondary hideout in a boathouse, Vic intends to kill Stella after being paid. However, things take a turn when Tom arrives just in time to confront Vic in a deadly showdown.

In the fight at the boathouse, Tom ultimately manages to kill Vic, sacrificing himself in the process. He passes the keys to Stella, enabling her to escape from her chains.

With Tom lying dying from his injuries, Stella makes her way to the kidnappers' vehicle. In the passenger seat, she discovers the bag containing the ransom money, a chance for a new life.

Stella drives away from the boathouse with the ransom money in tow, symbolizing her escape from the traumatic ordeal. With her upcoming baby and newfound wealth, she looks forward to starting a fresh life.
