Synopsis: Three masked men: The Boss, The Brute, & The Loser attack rich man (Haj Ahmed) in his vacation home and hold his wife (Naima) and daughter (Silyia) as hostages asking them for the whereabouts of their money. Haj Ahmed, who was not at home at the time of invasion, shows up and finds his family beaten and tied up. After a little back and forth between Ahmed & The Boss, Ahmed ends up beaten and tied up as well experiencing more violence. The family ends up running away to the second floor of the house to hide and access a gun. However, they are not safe there. While a hidden maid tries to stop the violence and the Loser tries to keep The Brute under control more violence erupts and betrayals complicate the situation further. What started as a simple theft ended up being a Matroschka of secrets. No one is safe nor innocent in this house.
