Ma-lev-o-lence: evil, disposed to injure others.

It's ten years after the kidnapping of Martin Bristol. Taken from a backyard swing at his home at the age of six, he is forced to witness the unspeakable crimes of a deranged madman. For years, Martin's whereabouts have remained a mystery... until now. When a bank robbery goes wrong, desperate felons Julian, Marylin and Kurt scatter to meet up later at an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. Grabbing hostages Samantha and her young daughter Courtney along the way, the group has no idea that the house they've chosen for their seclusion is about to become a hunting ground - with them as prey.
