SALVAGE – Claire Parker is going to die. At the hands of a sadistic and depraved killer, she will endure a terrifying, unimaginable brutal death – and it will all happen again. After being beaten, dragged, sliced and stabbed, Claire awakens at work – where it all began – untouched and unharmed. But the hellish ordeal is far from over. The madman is back and he’s ready for more blood… The film begins with Claire closing out her night shift at a store and is to be picked up by her boyfriend and driven home but instead someone else, who identifies himself as “Duke” is driving her boyfriend’s truck. After an unsettling ride home during which Duke makes increasingly overt sexual comments about her, Claire closes herself into the safety of her house, but Duke shows up at her door again, claiming she has dropped an earring. Claire refuses to let him in and he drops the earring on her front porch and apparently leaves. Claire spends several moments crouched in the doorway retrieving the earring, but upon successfully recapturing it and pulling the door closed, finds her back door has swung open. Duke has entered the house from the rear and proceeds to brutally murder Claire. Claire awakens at the convenience store again all seems well. She decides that she has had a bad dream. She begins to repeat her day, except this time her boyfriend does come to pick her up and she makes it home and to school. However, unsettling hints begin to appear. The sequence of events once again leads to a moment where Claire is being murdered and she again awakens in the convenience store. As each sequence leads towards her death, she hears from time to time people who she trusts talking just out of earshot about how she is “catching on”. Finally, she puts together the clues and realizes that not only has Duke been killed by the local police, but that she herself is missing and presumed dead, as is her boyfriend Jimmy. In the end, it is revealed that Duke Desmond’s soul has been occupying Claire’s physical body the entire time and he is in Hell reliving the brutal murder of Claire over and over again as eternal punishment. Just before the end credits, Claire again awakens in the convenient store.
