Based on the Boston Theran book of the same name (released in 1999), the synopsis for the movie reads: "The film follows detective Bob Hightower, who finds his ex-wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped by an insidious cult.
"Hightower takes matters into his own hands and infiltrates the secretive cult to try to save his daughter. With the help of the cult's only female victim escapee, Case Hardin, Hightower and Hardin go down the rabbit hole with The Ferryman to save his daughter and find closure for Hardin from the cult – and its maniacal leader."
Meanwhile, Jamie was subbed in for the filming of his upcoming project, Back in Action, by a body double alongside co-star Cameron Diaz.
Featuring Cameron's return to acting after a hiatus to care for daughter Raddix, the Netflix thriller does not have a release date as of writing.
