Bruno Hamel é um cirurgião de meia idade. Ele mora em Drummondville com sua esposa Sylvie e sua filha Jasmine, de 8 anos. Tinha uma vida normal e tranquila, até o dia em que sua filha foi estuprada e assassinada. Daí em diante o mundo da família Hamel desmorona. Quando o assassino é preso, uma terrível ideia surge na mente perturbada de Bruno: ele planeja capturar o “monstro” e fazê-lo pagar por esse crime. Então Hamel, que havia preparado o plano em detalhes, sequestra o criminoso e em seguida envia à polícia uma breve mensagem, dizendo que o estuprador e assassino de sua filha seria torturado por 7 dias, antes de ser executado.
