HOLY CRAP. DID not see the ending coming.
Die 18-jährige Shelby liebt ihren Vater über alles. Er unterhält ein Fotostudio in der Stadt und erstellt hin und wieder Bewerbungsmappen für angehende Models. Als Shelby eines Tages plötzlich anonyme E-Mails erhält, die ihren Vater als Betrüger und Mädchenverführer bezeichnen, bricht für sie eine Welt zusammen. Kirby Sloan weist jegliche Anschuldigungen von sich, doch dann verschwinden drei Mädchen aus der Umgebung und in seinen Archivschränken finden sich ihre Modelmappen.
