A dark horror-comedy about a kidnapping victim's escape and her family's brutal revenge, mixing graphic violence with tonal shifts that undercut traditional genre expectations.

After being captured and tortured by the psychopath Otis, teen cheerleader Riley Lawson escapes and informs her parents, who quickly sidestep sluggish FBI agents and take matters into their own hands. But the Lawsons' revenge plan hits a snag when Otis's unusual brother enters the picture.
