Teenager Stephanie Davenport, Kyle Richards, spends a night out with her friends and boyfriend, John, Peter Nelson, while her parents, Walter Davenport, Frank Miller, and Megan Davenport, Jean Brooks, prepare to depart for a weekend on their quiet California town. Unbeknownst to them, two brothers, Ray Perkins, Wendell Wellman, and Bob Perkins, John Putch, have escaped from prison with a vendetta against Stephanie’s father, the district attorney who sent them to death row for a brutal murder.
