A high-stakes siege thriller built on sustained tension and graphic violence, where a former mercenary must stop escaped convicts holding hostages in a shopping mall.

Convicted corporate criminal Howard engineers a prison break as he and a number of fellow inmates are being transferred to a new facility. The escapees storm a shopping mall and take a group of shoppers hostage (after killing many more of them) before making their demands. Only Rudy, a former mercenary and brother of one of the fugitives, can take out the criminals before more of the hostages die.
