A young boy and two adult burglars break into the house of his family's sinister landlords to steal a stash of gold coins. They discover the house is a deadly booby-trapped prison, home to a demented couple, their murderous daughter, and a secret: the feral, cannibalistic children they keep locked in the walls.
