Lisa and Hannah Peterson decide to stay home alone with their cousins, Jake and Terry Thomson, when their parents have to leave the country on a business trip. It was going to be four days of fun and freedom. Or so they thought.

A home invasion puts everyone's life in danger. The invaders and professionals; and they are intimidating. Held hostage in their own home, its up to Lisa to protect the others. All she wants is for them to take what they want and leave.

But it doesnt work that way. What they want is neither money nor jewellry. Its something much more valuable... and dangerous.
