Plot
In Hollywood, Samantha Forester (Chauntal Lewis) is kidnapped by "Coffin Baby" (Christopher Doyle), branded, locked in a cage, and forced to witness dozens upon dozens of other Los Angeles citizens being murdered in various brutal ways. When she is reported as missing, police investigators lead by Detective Chad Cole (Brian Krause) interrogate her boyfriend and learn that Samantha's own child was murdered. After 10 days in captivity, Coffin Baby falls in love with Samantha and gives her an orchid. Becoming crazed by her confinement, she herself eats cooked human flesh from another blonde victim.
Upon rescue by police, investigators find the body count is climbed well into the hundreds. Samantha is herself now suspected in the murder of her own 11 month old child.
