A claustrophobic psychological thriller about a man trapped in an isolated house by disturbed children who have imprisoned a woman, built on paranoia and the corruption of familial bonds.

An LA photographer, driving through backwoods country, spots a young boy walking on the side of the road and offers him a ride home. After reaching the isolated house, he discovers that the boy and his siblings are keeping a woman prisoner as their "mom" and now he is expected to be their "dad"...or else.
