When two teenage girls venture into the city for a concert, they fall victim to a group of escaped convicts who savagely murder the girls and leave their bodies in the woods.
Taking refuge in a nearby home, the killers soon discover they have checked into the house of the parents of one of their latest victims and find themselves at the mercy of the vengeful pair.
