Jillian ( Tania Raymonde ) grew up in a small Indiana town and is fed up with life there. With the help of a chat club, she hopes to find a man who can offer her a better life and take her away from the dreary place. After a date with one of her chat partners, she disappears without a trace. She leaves her best friend Sarah ( Anna Kendrick ) with a cryptic video message. Sarah and her boyfriend Jasper ( Chuck Carter ), a computer freak, want to find out what happened to Jillian and discover long-hidden secrets of their hometown. They are the only ones who believe that something has happened to Jillian. All the other villagers think freedom-loving Jillian has run away. Before long, Sarah and Jasper are being followed and terrorized as well, making them sure they are on the right track. The corrupt police officer Officer Berg ( Jeff Daniel Phillips ) and Jillian's ex-boyfriend Billy ( Paul Wesley ) seem particularly suspicious. Sarah's colleague Darla Tod ( Olivia Dawn York ) gives her mysterious clues that concern her father ( Jon Gries ). As Sarah investigates the clues, she comes across an old, abandoned bus on the Tods estate. There she finds the cell phone of Jillian and other girls who disappeared years ago. Mr. Tod catches Sarah and wants to kill her too. She flees from him into a field. He dials her cell phone and tries to track her down. She uses a trick and hides her cell phone in one of the scarecrows. Mr. Tod thinks he has caught her and rams a sickle in her head, but then realizes that he has been fooled by a trick. Sarah attacks him and knocks him over. Mr. Tod falls on one of his machines in the field and dies. Jasper suddenly shows up and the perpetrator starts quoting verses from the Bible. Mr. Tod had captured and killed several girls from the village in the past few years. Jillian was his last victim.
