Alyssa is being forced to rob a convenience store by a madman named Caleb, who is holding her sister, Kim, captive in the trunk of his car. After she botches the robbery, Caleb shoots Alyssa in the head and leaves her for dead in the parking lot. But Alyssa has survived and is tracking him to his home, where she finds Kim chained to the floor in a homemade torture room.

After freeing her sister and finding evidence of all the victims before them, Alyssa tells Kim to get to a neighbor's house and call the police because she has other plans for Caleb. She's going to inflict her own brand of justice on this monster.
