Premise
Alex (Augie Duke) and Jane (Sasha Higgins) are the bitter mistresses of Liam (Sam Boxleitner), a married man with money to burn and a healthy appetite for infidelity. Together, they hatch a plan to kidnap their cheating boyfriend and extort him for millions.
To execute the caper, Alex enlists the help of Kip (Patrick Cronen), her unhinged brother, and Shelly (Jillian Leigh), her childhood friend. Sensing Shelly's financial desperation, Alex convinces her to bait Liam into a compromising position, at which point Kip will subdue him long enough to extort a healthy ransom.
Donning rubber animal masks, the captors tie-up Liam and confine him to a locked garage. There, they show him a series of incriminating photos and threaten to tell his wife, unless he buys their silence. Liam proves to be less-than-cooperative, and in the long night ahead, the four would-be schemers are forced to reconcile impossible odds, and test the limits of their own morality.
