The Captive (2014)

5.9

Plot: It's been eight years since Matthew and Tina Lane's daughter, Cassandra Lane, went missing, she ten years old at the time. The general thought is that she was abducted as opposed to she having gone off on her own volition, as she went missing when Matt made a short and regular stop at a truck stop when driving home from picking Cass up after figure skating practice, he leaving Cass in the back seat of his truck. Matt and Tina's marriage was not able to survive largely on Tina still blaming Matt for her disappearance. The situation was only exacerbated by Niagara Regional Police Detective Jeffrey Cornwall - just transferred from Homicide to work in the Internet Child Exploitation Unit headed by Nicole Dunlop - believing that Matt may have been involved in her disappearance, he possibly having sold her to help pay the bills. Not trusting the police after all these years, Matt has vowed to find Cass on his own, which only added to the strain between him and Tina, as Tina saw no comprehensive plan from him to achieve that goal, while Tina still keeps in touch with Nicole and Jeffrey, who have since entered into their own personal relationship. Jeffrey believes they've made a break in the case when he, now patrolling the dark web on child pornography sites, thinks he found a recent image of Cass. It indeed is her, she being held captive in a locked room by a man named Mika, his identity which Cass has never discovered even after all these years. He is a pedophile, and even though eighteen year old Cass no longer appeals to the pedophile in him, he is using her to lure other children into his midst. Through this time, Mika, with computer expertise, has been able to monitor specifically Tina's movements at work as a chambermaid at a Niagara Falls hotel. The question then becomes whether the police and/or Matt can infiltrate Mika's world to save Cass, or if he, using his expertise, can further evade detection as Cass' captor.

Alternative Plot: Eight years after a child disappeared without a trace, detectives find disturbing clues that indicate that the girl is still alive.
