Plot
Rocky, Alex, and Money are three Detroit delinquents who make a living by breaking into houses and stealing valuables. Rocky longs to move to California with her younger sister, Diddy, and escape from their abusive mother and her alcoholic boyfriend. To the trio's frustration, their fence keeps undervaluing the items they bring.
Money receives a tip from their fence that Gulf War veteran Norman Nordstrom has $300,000 in cash in his house in an abandoned Detroit neighborhood. It was reportedly a settlement after a wealthy young woman, Cindy Roberts, killed Norman's daughter in a car accident. The three spy on the house and learn that Norman is blind (due to both his eyes being injured by exploded grenade shrapnel during his tour of duty in Iraq).
At night, the gang approach the house, drug Norman's rottweiler, then break in. Money puts a sleeping gas bottle in Norman’s bedroom. Seeing a locked basement door, he assumes the loot is hidden in there and shoots the lock. The noise wakes up Norman, who overpowers Money, takes the gun, and kills him while Rocky, horrified, watches silently.
Rocky witnesses Norman open a hidden safe to check his valuables. After he leaves, she opens it and takes the cash. However, he finds her and Money’s shoes and realizes there are more intruders, then returns to find the safe empty.
Rocky and Alex evade Norman and enter the basement. There, they find a restrained and gagged pregnant woman who reveals herself to be Cindy Roberts. Rocky and Alex free her and attempt to open the storm cellar door. Norman shoots at them, unintentionally killing Cindy. He breaks down and cries in distress over her body. Norman then shuts off the lights, plunging the basement into darkness. After a blind chase and struggle, Alex knocks him out and they flee upstairs.
After blocking the basement door, they encounter the dog, who has awakened, and flee into the bedroom. Rocky escapes the room through a ventilation duct. Alex falls out of a window onto a skylight and is knocked out. When he awakens, Norman shoots out the skylight, corners him in the utility room, and stabs him with a pair of garden shears. The dog pursues Rocky through the vents before she is captured by Norman.
Rocky wakes up restrained in the basement. Norman reveals that Cindy was pregnant with a "replacement" for his daughter. He then prepares to artificially inseminate her using a turkey baster, promising to let her go after she gives him a child. Alex, who survived by tricking Norman into stabbing Money's corpse, saves Rocky and handcuffs Norman.
Rocky and Alex try to leave through the front door. Norman breaks free and shoots Alex dead. Rocky flees as the dog pursues her. She traps it in her car trunk but gets captured again by Norman. After being dragged back inside his house, she disorients him by setting off the alarm system, then hits him repeatedly in the head with a crowbar and pushes him into the basement. The gun fires into Norman's side as he falls. Believing him dead, Rocky escapes before the police arrive.
Later, Rocky, in a cafe train station with Diddy and their pack belongings, see a news report about the incident. Norman, who is recovering in the hospital and in stable condition, is reported to have killed two intruders (Alex and Money) in self-defense. He does not mention Rocky, Cindy nor the stolen cash. Rocky, never looking back at the ordeal again, and Diddy are on their way to their train to California.
