When two girls disappear during a Thanksgiving dinner, their parents and the police search for them all over the area. Heading the investigation is hardworking Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). He enters the web of this crime, which has shaken the community and exposed its dark underground of drunk priests and Walmart creeps. But as the investigation stalls, the father of one of the missing girls (Hugh Jackman) takes matters into his own hands: He kidnaps a barely possible suspect and tries to torture the truth out of him. But this act of desperation only makes matters worse. And the detective is completely lost. And the town is in the dark. Prisoners gives the uncomfortable feeling that the solution to the crime is unknowable. (CHARLES MUDEDE)
