Driven by desperation, rogue FBI agent Duncan Carlisle makes hostages of renowned surgeon Ellen Sanders' family. He demands that she kill the president during an upcoming operation. While Carlisle and his team of accomplices -- including brother-in-law Kramer, hot-headed ex-soldier Archer and mysterious Sandrine -- hold the family captive, the lines between right and wrong become increasingly blurred. Ellen faces a terrible dilemma between following her captors' demands or further endangering her family.
