After robbing the local bank, John Taylor (Clayne Crawford) is a man on the run and desperate to find solace in the home of Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce), a man he happened to select from random when roaming the lonely suburbs of Los Angeles. After sustaining an injury in the bank robbery, John’s troubles worsen upon finding out the house he’s infiltrated is owned by a man that may not be what he first appeared to be.
