****SPOILERS**** Finding herself-after surviving a car accident- locked up in this bunker-like sound and bullet proof room Jamie Taylor, Melissa George, is confronted by this faceless voice, standing outside, about her husband Kevin, Christopher Campbell. It seems that honest and hard working, at the restaurant that he and Jamie own, Kevin was involved in dirty money laundering activities for the syndicated! Shocked that Kevin would have anything to do with a thing like that Jamie is also told that he in fact had stolen 40 million dollars of the syndicate's illegal-heroin-drug money. If that money is not returned within the next 12 hours the voice tells Jamie her son six year-old Michael, Connor Christopher Levins, will be history!
It's now up to Jamie to find out just where the money is hidden by listening to a milk crate full of audio tapes, secretly recorded at the Taylor house, and find a clue in them to what Kevin did with the stolen cash. That's before the voice's, who calls himself Alex, boss the mysterious Falco shows up, with a number of hit-men, the next morning and, with the money not there, has both her and little Michael iced.
You can't quite make out what Alex is trying to get out of Jamie in that he keeps changing his story to what exactly Kevin did! To the point where you expect that there's something more to his mentally and physically torturing poor Jamie then what, Kevin's double-crossing the syndicate, he's telling her. The movie "The Betrayed" goes on and on with Jamie wracking her brains out in her listening to the boring and almost inaudible tapes Alex gave her. And at the same time trying to figure out what the tapes tell her, in secret coded massages, in where her husband Kevin hid Falco's 40 million dollars. There's also the added attraction of having one of Alex's henchmen Rathe, Donald Adams, trying to take advantage of Jaime when Alex is outside getting some fresh air, from his dark and smelly bunker-like workplace, and a bite to eat! Rathe in the end gets blown away by an outraged Alex when he catches him with his pants down in trying to rape Jamie when he's supposed to be guarding her!
In the end we finally get to see what both Alex, by taking off his hood, and Falco, by just showing up, really look like. Which, surprising as it was, doesn't really explain what Jamie's husband Kevin had to do in screwing the two out of their 40 million dollars?
****SPOILER ALERT**** As for Kevin, the real mystery man in the film, he shows up unexpectedly at the very end of the movie to tie all the loose ends together only to end up making things even more confusing then they already were! Not in Kevin explaining his connection to the Falco Mob but in how he completely underestimated in how his wife Jamie, a whiz at numbers crossword puzzles and the internet, was able to figured out what his real intentions in this whole confusing movie really were!
