The opening scene is of a murder that takes place in an old house. After this: a detective is called to investigate the murder and find out who did it. At around the same time more murders happen in similar circumstances to the first muder. At all of the murders there is always the message "Try and stop it." The detective realises that they are clearly linked and that he is dealing with the same person.
The detective starts looks for clues as to who the next victim might be. The next day a murder takes place at the home of the CEO of Vodaphone. However, when the detective goes to investigate he finds that thus murder is different to the last couple. Even though there is still the sign "Try and stop it." it seems rushed, as though someone was trying to do the job quickly. The body isn't also placed near a drain to let the blood pour out and the victim has a stab wound in their chest and stomach. It also turns out that the families 17 year old daughter, Annette, has been kidnapped.
The detective calls in more help and a huge campaign is ordered to find the missing girl. CCTV footage shows a blue vauxhall leaving the estate at 2:07 am. Other CCTV footage shows the same car going down the motorway. A speed camera catches it doing 86mph and the detectives use this image on the news to appeal for witnesses.
Over the period of a month, witnesses report seeing that car enter Dale Farm. The big gate stops people from looking in so it is not known exactly what is happening to her.
Unknown to the detectives, Annette is being raped by the gypsies and used as a prostitute. She is kept in a caravan for 3 months. Coincidentally, the residents of Dale Farm are appealling to Basildon council to not let them be evicted. Months pass while the court keeps rejecting and postponing their appeal. During this time the girl is continually being raped. One of the gypsies who rapes her, talks to her and treats her like a normal human.
All of a sudden the gypsies become very agitated and the gypsy that befriends her starts to beat her up. From her prison in the caravan she can hear the sound of sawing and metal work.
On the 17th October, she is taken out of the caravan and placed by the main gate. Her feet are secured in concrete and she has a chain attached to her neck. Other people are also chained to the gate with one girl attached in such a way that if it opens she will be strangled.
Annette talks to the other people and finds out that two of them are in a similar predicament. They talk about what happened to each of them and what is likely to happen if they get unchained.
On the morning of the 19th October, Annette wakes up to the sound of people shouting at the back of the campsite. There are other people with cameras on the other side of the main gate. Half an hour later she sees what they are shouting about; police. Armed with riot shields they attack the gypsies. All of a sudden there is a surge of people at the main gate and the chains tighten around the girls necks. The police see what is happening and try and get it to stop. However, in all the chaos the girl with it round her neck on the special position is strangled. She hangs lifeless.
After all the commotion the action dies down and the police are getting rid of the last people attached to the gate. The detective fears that the hanged girl is Annette and goes to ring her parents. As he is doing this, the police alert him that a girl matching the descriptions of the news bulletin has been found.
