The Tortured

The Landry family's world is turned upside down when John Kozlowski, a serial killer, abducts their son, Benjamin. This heinous act marks the beginning of their tragic journey filled with grief and turmoil.

In the wake of Benjamin's abduction, Craig is consumed by overwhelming guilt and sorrow for not being able to protect his son. This emotional burden leads to deep reflections on his role as a father and the life he once knew.

While Craig succumbs to guilt, Elise is engulfed in a potent blend of rage and helplessness. Her emotional state drives a wedge between the couple, as they each cope differently with the tragedy that has befallen their family.

The couple attends the trial of John Kozlowski, only to be met with disbelief at the leniency of his sentence. Their shock quickly transforms into anger, reigniting their grief and leading to a fierce confrontation between them.

As their relationship deteriorates, Craig wrestles with dark thoughts and self-harm. It is during this low point that he reconnects with Elise, sparking a vengeful scheme against the man who took their son.

Craig and Elise begin to plot their abduction of Kozlowski, driven by their desire for revenge. They gather medical supplies and drugs to facilitate their sinister plan, showcasing their mental and emotional descent into darkness.

On the day of Kozlowski's transport, Craig and Elise track the movements of the police van. They seize a moment of distraction to hijack the vehicle, plunging into a chaotic escape that sets their plan in motion.

Their escape from the authorities ends in a fierce crash that leaves them shaken but alive. After the chaos, they discover Kozlowski is still alive but badly injured, heightening their sense of vengeance.

Craig and Elise take Kozlowski to a remote cabin, chaining him up as a twisted form of retribution. They aim to replicate the torment their son experienced, showcasing their descent into vigilantism.

The couple's quest for vengeance escalates as they subject Kozlowski to horrific torture and psychological torment. Each act of brutality further dehumanizes him, reflecting their inner turmoil and grief.

As law enforcement moves closer, Craig interrogates the helpless Kozlowski, who begs for mercy. This desperate plea falls on deaf ears as Craig and Elise are blinded by rage and grief.

In a tragic turn of events, they realize that they have mistakenly captured Patrick Galligan instead of Kozlowski. This shocking revelation exposes the grave error in their quest for vengeance, leading to dire consequences.

Pushed to the brink by the Landry's brutal treatment, Galligan takes his own life, leaving a note that reflects the destructive nature of their actions. This heartbreaking moment underscores the weight of their misguided revenge.

In the aftermath of Galligan's death, Craig and Elise mistakenly celebrate what they believe to be a vindication of their actions. Unbeknownst to them, Kozlowski is being arrested again, continuing their cycle of tragedy.

The narrative comes full circle as Craig and Elise drive past the re-arrest of Kozlowski, oblivious to the reality of their situation. Their quest for revenge leaves them with a haunting reminder of the unforeseen consequences that stem from their pain.
