Curfew

In a quiet California suburb, teenage Stephanie Davenport is looking forward to an ordinary night out with friends, while her parents, Walter and Megan, are preparing for a weekend away. The town’s tranquil veneer masks an undercurrent of unease, setting a mood that balances everyday normalcy with an ever‑present sense of impending dread. The film’s visual style leans into shadowed interiors and stark daylight, creating a tense atmosphere where the ordinary can quickly become threatening.

Behind the scenes of the courtroom, two brothers—Ray Perkins and Bob Perkins—are confined to death row, their lives defined by a single, brutal case. With only ten minutes left before a midnight deadline, they execute a daring escape, driven by a cold, calculated need for vengeance against those whose testimony sealed their fate. Their escape turns the quiet town into a ticking clock, as they pursue the witnesses whose words condemned them, shifting the story into a relentless chase.

As Ray and Bob reappear on the streets, their path inevitably collides with Stephanie’s family. Walter, a district attorney, and Megan, his wife, become unwitting focal points in the brothers’ desperate quest. Meanwhile, a young police officer named Sam finds himself drawn into the unfolding chaos, tasked with piecing together the fragments of a night that quickly spirals out of control. Relationships are tested, loyalties strained, and each character must grapple with the thin line between survival and surrender.

The film sustains a high‑octane tension, anchoring its suspense in the relentless countdown and the claustrophobic feeling that danger lurks just beyond every familiar doorway. By weaving together the perspectives of a frightened teenager, a determined family, and a fledgling officer, the story promises a pulse‑pounding race against time that keeps the audience guessing what will happen when the clock finally strikes twelve.
