During a carefree road trip, three friends stumble upon a brutal murder inside an upscale gated community. The residents, convinced the outsiders are responsible, seal the streets and turn the neighborhood into a deadly trap. As the charismatic but menacing patriarch tightens his grip, the friends' trust in each other crumbles under fierce pursuit.
