Set in the winter of 1897 in rural New York, The Kept is set in motion when a woman (Angelina Jolie) returns to her isolated homestead to discover that her husband and four children were murdered. The woman is injured by a shot and is tended to by her remaining son, Caleb, who survived by hiding in the pantry.
With her 12-year-old by her side, the woman sets out to find those responsible, but the gritty journey in blizzard conditions to a lake town will reveal secrets that will test the bond of mother and son.
The movie is based on the novel of the same name by James Scott.
