Output: Jack Bishop Simon Baker works as a loan officer in Del Rio, Texas and is remarried to Amaya Bishop Paz Vega, living with her and his daughter Toby Bishop Chloe Grace Moretz from his first marriage. Toby is kidnapped by an unknown perpetrator leading to the involvement of the local police and eventually the FBI. The FBI begins inquiring in Jacks past only to find out he has no official records dating back farther than ten years, and there is no evidence showing how his first wife had died or where she was buried. A local petty criminal and repeated sex offender is initially thought to be the culprit, but it is revealed that the dangerous cultlike religious movement Santa Muerte, popular within Mexican criminal circles, might be involved. Jacks former life as a Santa Muerte worshiping hit man for the Mexican mafia is revealed as he tries desperately to find out who kidnapped his daughter. We later learn that Jack was really named Roberto. Though born in Oklahoma, his drug addicted mother took him to Mexico when she was young. She later died, and Roberto had to make a life for himself on the streets. He ultimately became an enforcer for the Mexican mafia. He married a woman named Katie, and they had a child, Toby. Jack escapes from the FBI in Texas and makes his way across the border to Acuna. There he is accused of murdering a prostitute who was trying to help him find Toby. Though he did not do it, the Mexican police arrest him. Jack is later able to escape from the Mexican jail in disguise. Still in Acuna, he makes his presence known. As he planned, he lured the assassin who was looking for him to come to his hotel. They fight and Jack beats the assassin, who he then tortures for information about Tobys whereabouts. The assassin tells Jack that Toby was kidnapped by Katie, JacksRobertos exwife. Jack breaks into the brothel that Katie now runs in Acuna and confronts Katie, who is herself furious that JackRoberto ran out on her without warning and took Toby with him. Jack thinks Katie is lying when she says she does not know where Toby is, and murders her. In the films denouement, we realize that the real kidnapper was Jacks new wife, Amaya, with the help of her cousin, the Sheriff in Del Rio who throughout the film appeared as if he was trying to help Jack and that he believed Jacks innocence. We learn that the flashback we have seen throughout the film—of JackRoberto strangling a man at Katies behest as she looks on in delight—has new meaning. The man Roberto strangled was Amayas father. Worse still, Amaya was in the room with Roberto and Katie when they strangled her father, hiding under the bed. Amayas father was a degenerate gambler who owed a large debt to Katie and the Mexican Mob, and when he could not pay, Katie had Roberto kill him. Amaya witnessed all of this. We realize that she then set in motion an elaborate plan to emigrate to the United States and marry JackRoberto in order to punish him for murdering her father. It was Amaya and the Sheriff who kidnapped Toby. Amaya and the Sheriff set fire to the room where Jack is the same room where he killed Amayas father many years ago. But Jack is able to see that Toby is tied up on the bed in the room. He manages to free her and they escape the fire unhurt. The viewer thinks this is the end of the movie and that it has a happy ending. But we then learn, in a final twist, the truth. Amaya did not really kidnap Toby. When Amaya explained to Toby who her father really was, Amaya was able to enlist Toby using the magic of Santa Muerte to help exact an even worse revenge on JackRoberto. Amaya tells Toby that her father will kill her mother which in fact happened earlier when Jack was duped by the assassin he tortured into killing Katie to find Toby. Amaya told Toby that Santa Muerte magic would give her the strength to carry out a terrible revenge on her father for that murder. So Amaya purposefully let Jack and Toby escape. Her plan was for them to live happily for many years and then for Toby to kill her father. In the final scene, we see Jack and Toby fleeing deeper into Mexico on an old bus. As she sits and watches the countryside go by, we hear Toby reciting the same Santa Muerta chant for power that others including Jack said throughout the movie.
