The young woman, Madison, is an intelligent and independent college student who is visiting her family's vacation home in the small town over winter break. Her boyfriend, Jimmy, is a naive and easy-going guy who is just trying to impress Madison and fit in with her family.
When two bumbling burglars attempt to rob the house, Madison and Jimmy decide to take matters into their own hands and try to deter the burglars themselves. Along the way, they use various tactics from movies and TV shows to try and outsmart the burglars, but things quickly become chaotic and unpredictable.
As they face off against the burglars, Madison and Jimmy's relationship is put to the test and they are forced to confront their own fears and insecurities. Along the way, Madison discovers a family secret that changes everything she thought she knew about her parents.
The humor in the movie comes from the absurdity of the situation and the contrasting personalities of the characters. The burglars are portrayed as comically inept, while Madison and Jimmy struggle to keep up with their own schemes.
However, the humor takes a dark turn when one of the characters dies as a result of their actions. The movie ultimately serves as a cautionary tale about the dangerous consequences of taking matters into your own hands.
