Desperate for work, the down-and-out former captain in the Special Forces, Eddie Deacon, takes a minimum-wage job as a night security guard in an out-of-the-way shopping mall. But, shortly after learning the ropes, Eddie will have to put his combat skills to good use, as Jamie, a crucial eye witness who has survived the hijacking of a heavily guarded FBI convoy, appears out of thin air, banging on the door of the mall. Now, Charlie, the menacing leader of an armed-to-the-teeth team of mercenaries demands that Jamie, "his daughter", is let out, or kill the handful of untrained security guards who stand in the way. This is going to be the most dangerous night of their lives. Can Eddie, and his colleagues, keep murderous Charlie at bay?
