Summaries

In 1977, a girl is kidnapped and kept in a coffin-sized box. When her captors let her out, it's only to abuse her horribly. Will she ever escape?

May 1977. 20-year-old Colleen Stan is hitching from Oregon to California to visit friends. With a little over 40 miles of her journey left, she accepts a lift from a young couple, Cameron and Janice Hooker. It's a fateful decision. Kidnapped at knifepoint, Colleen spends the next seven years imprisoned for up to 23 hours a day in a coffin-sized box hidden beneath her captors' bed. When not incarcerated, she is employed as the Hookers' slave and child-minder, and is gradually drawn into a bizarre and complex world of extreme obsession and fantasy... Based on a true story, "Girl in the Box" is a dark psychological drama told through the eyes of one of the crime's perpetrators, Janice Hooker. Janice came under the spell of the likeable and charismatic Cameron at just 16, but Cameron harbors a dark secret: an insatiable addiction to extreme bondage and S&M. Unable to cope with Cameron's ever-more-extreme demands, Janice strikes a deal: if Cameron will stop using her for his S&M practices and let her have a child, she will allow him to keep a slave. It's a deal with the devil.
