Synopsis
The story centers around Levi, a handyman for a wealthy family in the Hollywood Hills, who faces poverty, lives paycheck to paycheck, and occasionally sleeps in his car. One night when he believes the family is out of town, he decides to sneak into the property and take some money from the safe. He figures they'll never know and he'll replace it down the road. Unfortunately for him, he soon realizes the house may not be as empty as he thought when the sound of someone groaning in pain seeps out from the darkness of one of the rooms. He follows the sound and finds a young man he's never seen before. He's slumped in a wheelchair, seemingly drugged, and has chunks of his flesh cut out. Before he can try to help the guy, the family suddenly comes home. Levi hides just as they bring in several guests for what seems to be a pre scheduled dinner party. Levi soon realizes that his desperation for a quick pay day will soon turn into the most horrifying night of his entire life, which he's forced to witness from his hiding spot in the kitchen pantry.
