A trio of escaped convicts, led by the cunning and ruthless mastermind Glenn Griffin, infiltrates a quiet suburban home, taking the Hilliard family hostage. The Hilliards, a seemingly typical family consisting of husband, Dan, his wife, Ellie, and their two children, find their mundane world upended by the intrusion. The convicts use the family's home as a hideout while they plot their next move to evade law enforcement.

The pressure builds as Glenn's plans begin to fray, causing friction not only with the Hilliards but also among his fellow fugitives. With growing desperation on all sides, the situation teeters on the brink of collapse, leading to a suspenseful climax where courage and cunning define every move. The tense power struggle forces everyone involved to confront their deepest fears and instincts in a nail-biting race against time.
