It’s been a year since Jill Parrish escaped the clutches of a serial killer who no one believes ever existed. Struggling to rebuild her life in Portland, Jill is haunted not only by the trauma of her kidnapping but also by the constant doubt of those around her—police, friends, even family. When her younger sister Molly mysteriously vanishes one morning, Jill is certain the same man has returned. But this time, no one is listening. The police call it a misunderstanding. Her neighbors think she’s unstable. But Jill knows better: the monster who once buried her in the darkness has come back to finish what he started.
With every hour that passes, the trail grows colder, and Jill realizes that no one will save Molly—unless she does. Armed only with fragments of memory, an old city map, and instincts sharpened by survival, Jill descends into a maze of hidden places: abandoned buildings, remote forests, and the seedy underbelly of Portland. Along the way, she uncovers unsettling truths—other women who disappeared under similar circumstances, police reports buried by red tape, and a hidden network of predators. As Jill follows the clues, her paranoia escalates, and she begins to question: is the killer truly back, or has her obsession driven her into delusion?
The tension snaps when Jill tracks down a secluded cabin deep in Forest Park—the same area where she once fought for her life. There, she finds evidence: shoes, a scarf, even Molly’s phone. Her heart races. But before she can act, the man who once terrorized her appears in the shadows. No longer a frightened victim, Jill confronts him in a harrowing showdown—psychological and physical. As the truth unravels, she learns that she was never the only one. The man kept trophies, memories of his crimes, and a list of names… names that include her sister.
In a powerful climax, Jill outsmarts her tormentor, rescuing Molly and exposing the truth to the world. When the police finally arrive, they see not a delusional woman, but a survivor who uncovered what they failed to believe. Gone (2012) is more than a thriller—it’s a portrait of trauma, persistence, and one woman’s refusal to be silenced. It explores the line between sanity and obsession, and the quiet strength required to confront evil when no one else will. As the film ends, Jill and Molly walk into the rising sun, knowing that the past can’t be erased—but it no longer owns them.
