Nguyen’s feature debut is based on an earlier short films Crush the Skulls 1 and 2.

A couple of master thieves find themselves trapped within a house they intended to rob, only to discover they've inadvertently wandered into the lair of a deranged serial killer.

A prologue introduces us to Ollie (Christopher Dinh, who co-wrote the screenplay) and Blair (Katie Savoy), a married couple who make their living as burglars. When a botched robbery results in Ollie being sent to jail, Blair is forced to go into debt to pay a local mobster to get him out. So the couple plans another big heist, this time in conjunction with Blair’s equally criminal-minded brother Connor (Chris Riedell) and his bumbling cohort Riley (Tim Chiou).

The quartet think they’ve found suitable prey in the form of an expensive country home that seems to be deserted. But surprising complications arise after they break in — the house turns out to be a torture den, with sealed windows and doors, locked rooms, no cellphone service and a desperate female victim (Lauren Reeder) being kept captive in the basement. Even worse, the home’s deranged, homicidal owner (Walter Michael Bost) is on the premises.
