Recent college graduate Nikolas returns home to find that the life he had is gone, but in trying to regain the life he once knew, he finds, through betrayal by his friends, the help of his quirky family, and a tangled web of love interests, that if you live your life holding onto the past, you miss the life you could be living now.

When the drug deal goes bad and Jason disappears, Nikki is trapped on an upper floor of the warehouse with a vicious ex-military enforcer, a gunshot victim, a violent addict and his three hostages. All the exits have been blocked and somewhere in the darkness is something with a taste for blood and a love of pain.
