I wanted to enjoy this movie as it sounded very interesting. In the beginning, it says it is loosely based on a true story so I thought it would be explained well but unfortunately, this was not the case.
We start with a family party, we can see some of the members are close but quickly learn about a past family trauma that has stopped Remy from speaking with her system Mia. Even this section of the movie isn't explained very well but it makes out that Mia is evil.
After some time Remy becomes sick leaving Cameron in the care of her Auntie Mia. It is not explained or shown why the other family members did not offer to help at this point either. After a few weeks of looking after Cameron, she is given parental rights until her mother is well enough again. Unfortunately by the time, Remy is well again Mia will not accept any contact and Cameron is missing.
Cameron is put down in a basement with some others who have also been trapped there. At first, Mia had trapped them and even tortures them. Somehow Mia manages to get paychecks for these people and lives a life of luxury. Unfortunately due to the justice system letting Cameron down Mia traps her in the basement for many years.
Eventually, someone comes asking about Cameron and they need to go on the run this leads Mia to move everyone. This is where the plot starts to lose me. As money is becoming less Mia sells the people in the basement for sex work. However, even when the girls become pregnant Mia keeps the children. At this point, the plot seems to fall apart and does not explain why she does this. Mia is still evil enough to keep Cameron and the others in the basement so letting them have children seems to be a little out of character.
Parts of the story are very slow are hard to watch. It's not explained very well and it's a shame because it could have been a really thrilling movie.
