While working as valets at a restaurant, Sean Falco and Derek Sandoval secretly use the cars entrusted to them by customers to burgle their homes. On one night, however, Sean finds more than he bargained for when he breaks into the house of wealthy patron Cale Erendreich and discovers a woman named Katie being held captive. Unable to free Katie, Sean abandons her, but notifies the police of his discovery. When the police, however, are unable to find any evidence of Katie’s abduction, Sean contacts the FBI and files a missing persons report for her.
Cale, meanwhile, brings Katie to a secluded cabin and becomes aware of Sean’s knowledge of her abduction. Motivated by a desire to break people down, Cale begins working to destroy Sean’s life, including having Sean, Derek, and Sean’s parents fired from their jobs. He also savagely beats Riley Seabrook, Sean’s girlfriend, after hacking into his Facebook and camera to ruin their relationship by leaking a topless photo of her. Cale then murders Derek and his family in their home and stages their deaths as a murder-suicide, although Sean is able to get a picture of Cale, which he sends to the FBI.
Using the GPS in Cale’s car, Sean is able to find the cabin where Katie is being held captive and heads off to save her after surviving Cale’s attempt to kill him with a bomb. A team of FBI agents also travel to the cabin after deducing that Cale is responsible for a series of disappearances and that the property is in the name of Cale’s family, but are unable to enter the private property without a warrant. Sean finds Katie, only to be knocked out by Cale, who reveals that he intends to kill Katie and frame Sean for her murder, along with the deaths of his previous victims. Katie, however, survives Cale’s attempt at killing her and frees Sean, with Cale in pursuit.
