Halle Berry is an emergency call centre operator who takes a call from a girl in distress. A man is in her house. When the girl hangs up, Berry calls her back, thus alerting the intruder to her location in the house. When the girl gets murdered while still on the call, Berry blames herself. The killer speaks to Berry and says it’s too late.

Years later, Berry receives another call from a girl abducted in the back of a car boot and realizes it’s the same guy when she hears him speak. Racing against time before the girl is murdered, she must figure out where she is and help save her and stop the killer from murdering again.
