"an advertising executive (Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement for an unknown reasons. When the ad executive is released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation."
