Description

Wealth insulates Michael Lane and his family until trouble comes from within the high walls of their mansion one night when his teenage son commits an act of unspeakable savagery. Lane, joining his wife in a desperate lie to protect their boy—a lie involving the sacrifice of an innocent—encounters no opposition from cops and courts burdened by chaos and corruption, but he sets in motion a bloody train of revenge and retribution that threatens to destroy him and everything he loves.
