Best friends Alana and Rabin are hanging out after school, biking around town and playing games at an arcade. They don't realize that a suspicious man, later identified as Jack, is following close behind in a black sedan.

Alana rounds a corner to look for Rabin, who has gone on ahead. She sees an unfamiliar car and hears banging from inside the trunk. In a flash, Jack captures her, throws her in the back beside Rabin, and drives off. Jack takes them, blindfolded and with their hands tied, to a house in the middle of nowhere. He locks Rabin in one of the rooms, leaving Alana trapped in the trunk. She manages to free herself and escape.

Realizing she can't leave her friend behind, Alana goes back to try to save Rabin. Quick-witted, Alana manages to evade Jack, who doesn't realize she is out of the car and in the same house where he locked Rabin.

Jack drugs Rabin. Alana manages to get into the house and finds a dead boy underneath Jack's bed. When Jack enters the bedroom and moves the corpse into another room, Alana witnesses Jack cutting up the corpse, putting the pieces into a cooler, and handing the box to another guy, possibly a messenger.

Soon, Jack finds Alana, and a fight ensues in the kitchen. While defending herself, Alana accidentally stabs Jack with a knife. Relieved that her captor is now dead, Alana looks for the keys to open Rabin's room. Then Murni, Jack's partner, returns from buying dinner.

Not realizing that Jack is dead, Murni carries on as usual around the house, finding Rabin in the locked room and getting slashed by Rabin while trying to intimidate him.

Then she finds out Jack is dead, and the hunt for Alana begins.

Can Alana hides from Murni and gets Rabin out to safety? What will happen to the duo?

REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 Beautiful story telling. Straight to the point about kidnap, human trafficking and organ selling. 

Guys, be aware of your kids ok. Don't let them wander without any adult supervision.   

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 OMG! Other than saying names, there is literally no script at all. But the facial expressions and the body language of the casts are superb. 

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, please watch it on Netflix. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
