Description
"A taut psychological thriller about a family held hostage in their own home. In dire need of a hideout, escaped convict Michael Bosworth uses his charming smile to gain entry into the posh home of Nora and Tim Cornell and their two children. While waiting for his beautiful lawyer-turned-accomplice to arrive, Bosworth's smile soon explodes into homicidal rage when the Cornells desperately try to fight back. Holding the family at gunpoint and ruthlessly pitting husband against wife, Bosworth's fury escalates into a shocking night of terror and cold-blooded murder. Finally, the family is forced to take a stand that will either destroy them or unite them as never before"--Container.
