Synopsis: An ex-con with delusions of grandeur
and his tagalong brother unwittingly team up with a psychopath one
wrong word away from meltdown. When their late afternoon joyride turns
into a random act of violence, they take a family hostage in the
affluent bedroom community of Bristo Camino. Enter Chief of Police Jeff
Talley, a stressed-out former LAPD SWAT negotiator who is hiding from
his past. Plunged back into the high-pressure world that he desperately
wants to forget, Talley soon learns that his nightmare has only begun.
The hostages are not who they seem, and the home contains secrets that
even L.A.'s most lethal and volatile crime lord, Sonny Benza, fears. As
Talley tries to hold himself together and save the people inside, the
full weight of Benza's wrath descends on him, putting the police chief
and his own family at risk. Soon, all involved are held hostage by the
exigencies of fate and the only one capable of diffusing the standoff
is the least stable of them all.
