A couple of master thieves find themselves trapped within a house they intended to rob, only to discover they’ve inadvertently wandered into the lair of a deranged serial killer.
Ollie and Blair are a typical fun, young couple. They just happen to earn a dishonest living by breaking and entering into upper-class homes. When their latest job goes awry, they find themselves having to pull one more last job. Unfortunately for them, the job was set up and planned by Blair s irresponsible, unprepared, hothead younger brother, Connor. Of course, the easy target turns out to be anything but easy. The break-in is no problem, but the crew is immediately trapped inside, unable to break back out. As they explore the house for a solution, it becomes clear that this seemingly beautiful and innocuous home is actually a sadistic torture den, a mind-screwing maze of dead-ends and wrong turns, with an unseen killer separating them from one another and stalking them from the shadows. Ollie, Blair, and the rest of the would-be robbers now have to fight for their lives.
