The Twelfth Day

Synopsis

In a secluded cabin, a sinister figure holds twelve children captive, a horrifying countdown to their demise. Each day, one child is taken, a macabre feast for their abductor. But one child, Ava, possesses a desperate courage. She escapes the clutches of her captor and flees home, determined to expose the monstrous truth and call for help. Her frantic return, however, leads her not to safety, but to a chilling confrontation. In the heart of her own home, she finds the kidnapper waiting. With a surge of adrenaline and a stolen kitchen knife, Ava fights for her life, incapacitating the monster and alerting the authorities. Yet, when the police arrive, the justice Ava sought turns to ashes. Accused of the crime, she is condemned and imprisoned, her desperate act of self-preservation misconstrued as malice. Ten years later, a cold case review unearths the truth, finally exonerating Ava and revealing the depth of her ordeal. Released into a world that has moved on, Ava attempts to rebuild her shattered life. But the shadows of her past are long, and a new terror emerges. She finds herself drawn to an older man, a seemingly kind stranger who harbors a dark secret: he is the brother of the man Ava faced years ago. As their relationship deepens, the chilling reality of his intentions becomes clear. Revenge, it seems, is a dish best served cold, and Ava's fight for survival is far from over.
