PlotJohn Cale, a U.S. Capitol Police officer, takes his daughter Emily on a tour of the White House while secretly hoping to impress her with an interview for a job in the Secret Service. However, as the tour progresses, a heavily armed paramilitary group led by a rogue ex-Black Ops operative seizes control of the building, trapping everyone inside. The invaders aim to abduct President James Sawyer and use him to execute their plans. Amidst the chaos, Cale finds himself separated from Emily and realizes it’s up to him to protect not only her but also the President.
As the siege intensifies, Cale and President Sawyer navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the White House to evade capture and thwart the terrorists' efforts. They uncover a deeper conspiracy that threatens national security on an unprecedented scale. With limited resources and allies, Cale must utilize his combat skills and wits to outmaneuver the well-equipped adversaries while ensuring the safety of his daughter and safeguarding the nation's leader. The fate of the country hinges on their ability to survive long enough to expose the true masterminds behind the attack.
