5/28 – The Girl in the Trunk
A woman finds herself kidnapped and entrapped in the enclosed space of a speeding car’s trunk, wearing her brand-new wedding dress, and with her phone the only available tool. The situation deteriorates gradually as a failed escape attempt costs the life of an innocent bystander. Discovering that the kidnapper has a fondness for poisonous wildlife also makes for no help at all. And when she finally manages to get the PIN to the phone, we learn that she has in fact escaped her own wedding as well as a future in her controlling fathers employ. With the clock ticking towards a slow death from heat exhaustion in the Texas desert, a psychotic kidnapper at the wheel, and little help coming from her family, Amanda is forced to make her own luck in the end. A dangerous game of questions and deadly consequences – to be played over the phone with the mysterious kidnapper – seems the only way to maybe discover his true identity, getting help or simply fighting her painful way towards a fleeting chance of escape.
