Plot

After being released from prison, convicted felon Max Truemont (Josh Holloway) and his fiancée Roxanne (Sarah Wayne Callies), wish to have a fresh start by running a small diner of their own. The bank refuses to loan $50,000 to them to open the business and without alternatives, Max accepts the invitation of his former partner Sydney. With his associate Vince they are to kidnap eight-year-old David (Blake Woodruff), the son of a wealthy woman in New England, under the command of a mysterious mastermind. After the successful abduction of the boy, the group awaits ransom instructions in a secluded hideout. As they begin to become suspicious of each other Max realizes the boy is not as innocent as he seems, commanding various characters to kill each other. It's revealed that the mastermind is David's mother. She tells Max that the boy is a demon, able to "whisper" ideas to weak-minded individuals. She pleads with Max to kill the boy on her behalf. On his refusal she kills herself. Max ultimately kills David, but not before he accidentally kills Roxanne.
