The Flock Plot Summary

What happens in The Flock from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 1-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Erroll Babbage, Richard Gere, is a hyper-vigilant agent of the Department of Public Safety who keeps a careful watch on registered sex offenders. Burnt out after a long career, he has grown frustrated with the system of monitoring and punishment that he must navigate daily. With little faith in humanity, he takes on one last job to find a missing girl and bring a sense of closure to a case that has haunted him for years.

Three weeks from retirement, he trains his young replacement, Allison Lowry, Claire Danes. After a newspaper bearing his characteristic headline lands on his desk, he becomes convinced the kidnapping is tied to a paroled sex offender he’s monitoring, and he throws himself into the search with unwavering resolve.
