Plot summary
When Hyun Jae spots the fake badge on the firefighter who offered her a ride home, she tries to run. She is captured, bound and carried off in the trunk of a car. Her captors drug her and take her to an isolated warehouse, where her braces and belongings are removed and a tracking anklet is locked to her ankle. There she is introduced to Bob, who leads the sex trafficking ring, and to Vaughn, his overseer. Bob warns her that her parents will be hurt unless she obeys, names her Eden from then on, and allows her two days to adapt before she must work.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In 2014, anti-trafficking nonprofit Breaking Out said a year-long investigation of Chong Kim found no truth to her story; it found fraud and lies, accused her of defrauding organizations out of charitable donations, and announced a coming lawsuit.
- Breaking Out later released court documents showing Chong Kim faced a 2009 felony theft-by-swindle charge and was ordered to pay $15,000 to another human trafficking victim and activist in Minnesota.
- After Breaking Out made its allegations, Griffiths and others associated with the film refused further comment, while its official website kept promoting it as "Inspired by the harrowing true story of Chong Kim."
