Things could be better for the Baxter family. Tom Baxter (Fredric Lane) heads up a struggling landscaping business to provide for his wife (Mel Harris), teenage daughter Alex (Michelle Jackson) and son Nick (Cameron Bowen). Yet things could get much worse, as the family would soon discover.

Late one afternoon while Alex is out, a trio of criminals posing as a construction crew consisting of Alpha (Daniel Baldwin), the mastermind with a taste for explosives, Beta (Melinda Clarke), a cunning female fatale, and Omega (Derek Hamilton), a trigger-happy psychopath. Mysteriously, the perpetrators do not want to rob the family - they are seeking access to the Mead Estate, an empty mansion where Tom does landscaping and knows the security codes to get them in.

Tom is torn from his frightened family and taken to the estate by Beta, while Alpha and the menacing Omega stay behind to terrorize Fay and young Nick. Alex finally comes home to find her mother and brother hostage and together they plot their escape. While looking for a getaway, Nick uncovers a bomb planted by Alpha in the attic and the family realizes their lives are in grave danger.

Meanwhile, Tom discovers the criminals are looking for a safe hidden within the walls of the Mead Estate. When Alpha joins them to detonate an explosive device to open the safe, they find a fortunbe in rare gold coins. Soon it becomes clear thre is a history between Tom and Alpha, whose father was the owner of the valuable collection and an old family friend of Tom's.

Now, with the criminals in possession of their stolen treasure, the Baxter's recognize there is little time before they are done away with. With a combination of wit and will, the family must figure out a way to disarm the bomb and elude their captors in order to survive.
