The film opens on Debbie Tisdale's 30th birthday. Her gift is supposed to be a small inheritance of $50,000 from her estranged father Boyd, but she soon learns that Boyd, under the influence of his younger wife Rose, has cut Debbie out of his will. Debbie suspects foul play; Boyd has dementia and could have easily been manipulated.
After a failed negotiation, Debbie and her boyfriend Steve kidnap Boyd and head north, where they break into an elegant lake house, empty for the season. Once there Debbie forms a plan to access to her inheritance by darker means.[5]
