For handyman and ex-con, Arkin (Josh Stewart), a quiet home and a family on vacation is an 'opportunity'. During his time working on the family's property before they depart, Arkin discovers a hidden safe, containing a rare and valuable gem. As soon as the owners are out of the picture, Arkin sees his opportunity to hack the safe steal the stone – the only chance he has to repay his ex-wife's dept, and keep his young family together.
But there's bad news for Arkin. Once he returns to the house after dark, he quickly finds it not to be as empty as he'd hoped. Whilst working the safe he hears noises inside the house and, while checking the place over, he stumbles across a mysterious box, containing a tortured and terrified stranger – the latest specimen in a vast collection, catalogued in blood, bone and tears.
By opening the box, Arkin alerts the attention of its owner, The Collector, and by doing so enters into a twisted game of Cat and Mouse, trying to keep his own life intact whilst trying to save those of the vacationing family, who are locked inside their own home.
