In this taut thriller directed by Jim Gillespie, a group of rebellious students at a wealthy boarding school finds themselves caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse when a kidnapping plot goes horrifically wrong. Led by the charismatic but arrogant Kyle Hartmann (Ed Westwick) and his determined ex-girlfriend Amy (Phoebe Tonkin), the teens initially plan to hold a classmate's father, a ruthless billionaire (Sebastian Koch), for a ransom that would expose his corrupt business dealings. However, their scheme quickly spirals out of control when a heavily armed tactical team storms the isolated campus, turning the would-be kidnappers into desperate hostages. As the body count rises and trust erodes, the students must rely on the resourceful Jake (Jeremy Sumpter) and the volatile Ricky (Dominic Sherwood) to navigate a labyrinth of betrayal and survival. With its claustrophobic setting and relentless tension, Jim Gillespie crafts a high-stakes thriller where the line between victim and villain blurs, and the true price of power is paid in blood.
