- The movie begins with a woman running for her life through a tropical paradise.
Cut to five days earlier; Savannah is a busy, work-obsessed mother celebrating her daughter Aria's birthday with her husband, Brad. They are planning a family getaway to an holiday resort island in Australia. They received the vacation through an online offer.
Aria loves the place and is very excited to play in the daycare center at the resort. A redheaded concierge named Jane shows them around the place. Aria goes missing almost immediately. It turns out she is just hiding under the cabin. Savannah and Brad meet their Australian neighbors, Nick and Gabby, who struggle to become parents and are overshares.
The next day, Savannah and Brad drop Aria off at resort daycare to enjoy a day of hiking, couples massages, and cocktails. When Savannah returns, she is surprised to learn Jane isn't working anymore and Aria is missing. Pete, the new staff on duty, essentially kicks Savannah out for creating a scene.
The parents put together a search party with whoever will help. They accuse Pete of being negligent. The police are contacted, and they act like kids go missing all the time.
4 hours of Aria missing, and Savannah and Brad are already blaming one another. The search is called off because it is getting dark outside. Back in the suite, Savannah overhears her neighbors arguing.
With the search called off, Savannah does her own investigating. She interrogates Jane while she is floating on her back in a pond and then sneaks into the crime scene that is marked off. Savannah runs into Brad, who is also lurking around the crime scene. Savannah shows him Aria's bunny, Mr. Pickles, that she would NEVER leave behind. Then they hang up flyers, but also, someone immediately takes them down.
15 hours missing, Pete comes forward with new evidence to the police about a woman in a green dress seen at the play are moments before Aria's disappearance. Savannah receives threatening text messages and demands the police search every house in the island. She is being a bit unreasonable but is comforted by Brad. The police go door to door and inquire about the missing girl. We then see Aria in a room with her captor happily drawing pictures. (The captors face is not shown) She must know whoever has taken her because Aria is extremely well adjusted. She is also in a room decorated with her name all over it.
24 hours missing, Savannah overhears conversations and learns that one of the police officers also has a young daughter. They bond. Jane and Pete are hooking up and hiding some arm tattoos. Savannah sees it all and accuses Jane of lying to her. Jane continues to be supportive and denies any wrong doing.
While taking a nap, someone breaks into Savannah's villa and takes photos of her as she sleeps. They also steal Mr. Pickles and leave a red ribbon from Aria's hair that she was wearing when she was kidnapped. She calls Brad to tell him what happened and heads over to Nick and Gabby's to eavesdrop. Her suspicions are confirmed when she sees Gabby throwing out a green dress. She confronts and accuses her of kidnapping Aria, but Gabby explains that she threw away the dress to avoid suspicion as she was actually there wearing the green dress which she purchased in the resort on the day of the kidnapping. Savannah looks through old photos and sees the tattoo that is on Pete's arm in the background of a picture of Aria. Savannah calls the police and learns the tattoo is a human trafficking cult.
Savannah has some flashbacks of her younger days with her seeing her father in an argument with a pregnant lady.
Brad is out searching too. He interrogates a shady boatman who has been lurking around the whole movie. Then he follows a golf cart through the woods to staff corridors. Brad pretends to be a deliveryman and bursts into the house and is hit in the head and tied up. Savannah isn't far behind but is sent off into the woods by Jane. She is responsible for the kidnapping, and Pete's gang is helping.
Savannah realizes what is going on and tries to stop Pete as he is running off. Jane has already left with the child leaving behind Aria's drawings, which serve as clues. Jane is Savannah's long lost half sister. Savannah realizes this, and the flashbacks suddenly make sense.
Jane is officially on the run and heading to the pier to get the first boat off of the island. Since no one is allowed exit or entry to the island, she knocks out the lady cop, snatches the boat keys and rushes to the shore. Savannah chases after them on foot and screams for her daughter. Savannah climbs a fence and jumps onto the boat to save her daughter.
Jane pulls a gun on Savannah and calls their father a deadbeat. Jane grew up in foster care and never had the loving support that Savannah did. The father didn't want anything to do with Jane and called Savannah his real family. Jane arranged the whole thing as an elaborate revenge plot.
Savannah tries to reason with Jane, but they eventually struggle over the gun in front of a screaming Aria. The gun goes flying, and then they struggle over some boating device. Aria begs "Auntie Jane" not to hurt her mother and tells her that she loves her. It works, and Jane comes to her senses. Jane is arrested, but Pete walks away free.
Right before Jane is escorted away in the police jeep handcuffed, Savannah approaches her and Jane asks her whether Savannah will also abandon her the way her father did, but Savannah promises Jane to get the justice she deserves and would not abandon her. The film ends with the united family hugging tearfully.
