Plot Summary
David Sumner and his wife Amy have just moved into a large home in the English countryside. David is a small, mild-mannered man though he slowly starts to detect some hostility from the locals and he can't shake the feeling his wife may have some history with one of them. One day when David is away, his wife is sexually assaulted by some of the carpenters working in the area. Shortly thereafter a gang of hooligans wages all out war on the Sumner home, prompting David to quit being the peaceful type and start dispensing some vigilante justice with a shotgun. Like Home Alone, but for grown-ups.
