Full plot (contains spoilers)
While traveling home from a visit, Ray Monroe's daughter Peri falls into a pit at a gas station, and Ray sustains a head injury while rescuing her. At a nearby hospital, Ray is told by staff that they have no record of his wife or daughter. As he struggles against security and police, he discovers a bloodstained pit at the gas station and eventually reaches the hospital's basement. There, he finds Peri about to have her organs harvested and rescues her along with a drugged Joanne, shooting a doctor in the process. As they flee, it is revealed that his family actually died in the pit—Peri from the fall and Joanne after being pushed onto a spike by Ray. Their bodies were in the back of the car the entire time; the hospital events were a hallucination caused by Ray's brain trying to process the trauma of the accident.
