About this title

Synopsis

A home invasion gone wrong. A husband with secrets. A wife caught in the crossfire.

When four thieves break into Eddie Johnson's house, they think they are hitting a drug dealer sitting on a pile of cash. They're wrong - but not by much. Eddie's business ties hide darker connections than he realizes, and when word of the kidnapping spreads, more dangerous players enter the game.

Detectives Jimmy Quinn and Micky Bondurant are called in to investigate the chaos, but with rival factions closing in, the line between rescue and revenge blurs fast.

As the walls close in, no one knows who to trust - or who will make it out alive.
