Lisa's boyfriend is murdered by drug dealers. He failed to pay them for his cocaine. They kill him and Lisa sees it. They come after her because they can't leave any witnesses. She goes to the police for help. But she doesn't tell them the whole story, only that she found her boyfriend dead. Cop Stacie Palermo offers to hide her at her sister's shelter for battered women. Only the bad guys find out she is there and lay siege to the home. It becomes a battle between the women and the drug dealers to defend their home.
