A woman leaves her boyfriend at home to go with her sister Carolina to see Carolina's estranged husband Darryl. It is understood that the two sisters go everywhere together. They go meet Darryl in a run-down inn and he takes them to dinner at a casino bar. The woman remembers Carolina and Darryl's wedding, when Carolina was 19 and Darryl was 29. After the casino, Darryl takes them to the airfield where he works. When they were 10 and 11, the woman was abducted by a man in a van, and Carolina jumped in, too, because she didn't want her to be alone. Six weeks later, the man, Mr. Peters, dropped them off at a hospital near their home. When they went to school the next year, the woman went to Carolina's class each day and sat on the floor next to her desk, rather than her own. At the airfield, over the phone, the woman breaks up with her boyfriend at home, who she isn't close to and doesn't understand. The sisters get drunk with Darryl and his friend. The woman says to Carolina, "We're not going home, are we?" She wakes up in the hotel room. Carolina has been keeping watch while she sleeps. She tells Carolina to sleep, while she keeps watch. The woman remembers when she and Carolina were held captive and abused by Mr. Peters as well as by other men who sometimes showed up. In the present, the woman declares to Carolina and Darryl that she wants to move to a nicer hotel. The sisters have lots of money from a civil suit that accompanied the criminal suit that sentenced Mr. Peters to life in jail when he was caught five years after kidnapping them. When Carolina testified on the stand, she pissed her pants. When he was caught, the detectives found videotapes of him raping the sisters. The sisters insisted on watching the tapes and also insisted their parents never could. At the new hotel, Carolina shows the woman a letter from Mr. Peters that was sent to their house. He is up for parole, and asking for their help in the trial. It's the reason the sisters wanted to leave—because he knows their address. Carolina shows it to Darryl, too, who says he won't let Mr. Peters hurt them. The sisters burn the letter.
