在这部充满保罗·施拉德风格的影片中，一位神父调查自己女儿在泰国的绑架案。影片中对跨国恋童癖者的描述显得有些直白。
A priest investigates his daughter’s kidnapping in Thailand in this Paul Schrader-esque inquiry into spiritual nihilism‘He’s American, a little bit overweight, sweaty, a little bit camp, creepy.”As far as descriptions of border-hopping paedophiles go, this seems a little on the nose.
因此，当负责调查的神父丹尼尔（史蒂夫·奥拉姆饰）回应‘你在编故事吗？’时，也并不令人意外。
So it’s not surprising when the man who was enquiring, priest Father Daniel (Steve Oram), responds: “Are you making this up?”
西蒙·拉姆利的这部惊悚片以曼谷的儿童绑架事件为背景，有时近乎于低俗的剥削性电影，但凭借其紧凑的叙事和新鲜的视角，成功营造出一种类似保罗·施拉德式的道德困境。
Featuring a seedy child-abduction situation in Bangkok, Simon Rumley’s thriller comes close at times to bugged-out exploitation flick territory – but lets its fleet and fresh manner carry it towards a Paul Schrader-esque moral calvary.
丹尼尔神父服务于一个英泰混血的教会，与妻子梅（娜塔蓬·拉顿饰）育有一个女儿奥利维亚（玛戈·迪特里希饰）。
Pastor to a mixed Anglo-Thai congregation, Father Daniel has a young daughter, Olivia (Margaux Dietrich), with wife May (Nattapohn Rawddon).
在一次过夜聚会中，奥利维亚目睹了朋友哥哥播放的一段令人震惊的视频——一只小猫被一个衣着暴露的女人踩死。
At a sleepover, Olivia is traumatised when her friend’s older brother shows her a “crush” video of a kitten being stomped by a scantily clad floozy.
当自己的猫咪米西失踪后，她坚信就是那个女人干的，并质问父亲上帝为何会允许这种事情发生。
So when her own cat Missy goes awol, she is convinced the same lady is responsible, and asks her dad how God could let it happen.
全家开始寻找米西，但随后奥利维亚也在放学后失踪了，这迫使丹尼尔神父直面自己的信仰考验。
The family mobilise to track down Missy, but Olivia in turn disappears one day after school, kicking off Father Daniel’s own test of faith.
