The story

They are captives of a man they call "Old Nick," Jack's biological father, who abducted Joy seven years prior and routinely rapes her while Jack sleeps in the closet; Jack is the product of one such encounter.

That night, Jack curiously ventures out of the closet while Old Nick is asleep in bed with Joy.

Joy subsequently wraps Jack in a rug and has him pretend he has died from his illness, telling him to run to the first person he sees for help.
