Desperate for safety, they take refuge in an isolated house owned by a mysterious widow. The widow hides them in her basement, but when one of the girls can't make it in time, she is forced to trust the unpredictable gang leader Jacob, whose assistance comes with dark strings attached. As the lines between protector and predator blur, the women find that the cost of sanctuary is more than they bargained for.
