* NestedStoryReveal: [[spoiler:The original ending revealed that it was all Aubrey's story.]]
* PoliceAreUseless: The police, thinking that Aubrey has been deeply traumatized by being kidnapped and having her limbs sawn off by a maniac.

She's found a week or so later, missing a hand and a foot. However, the person who winds up in the hospital bed insists that she's not Aubrey Fleming, but rather is an identical stripper named Dakota Moss. However, Aubrey's family decide to take her in, even after an unexplained cut appears on her arm. However, Dakota's still not convinced that she's really Aubrey, and starts to figure that the unexplained cuts and amputations might have also happened to her twin sister, the real Aubrey Fleming.
