AI Summary

A troubled Los Angeles police officer, Joe Baylor, works the night shift as a 911 dispatcher while awaiting trial over a past incident. During one tense shift, he receives a call from a terrified woman who appears to have been kidnapped. As Joe desperately tries to rescue her using only phone calls and limited information, the situation grows increasingly disturbing. The film unfolds almost entirely inside the call center, relying on suspense, sound, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s intense performance.

Very frustrating movie to watch. Upsetting also.
