Set over one night as a vicious storm sweeps across the Scottish highlands, two criminal brothers on the run are forced to seek sanctuary in a remote farmhouse. Taking the resident family hostage, they soon find themselves in a deadly struggle for survival, where the family set up is not quite as straightforward as it first appears to be.
