A tense, morally murky vigilante thriller where a farmer's justified self-defense escalates into torture, trapping both captor and captives in a cellar of escalating brutality.

Three vicious thugs are on the run in rural America after robbing a local bank. They seek refuge at the home of a reclusive farmer, but he is prepared for their arrival and holds them at gunpoint. Unable to let them simply wait for the law, he decides to take them into into his cellar and torture them a little before the police arrive.
