A Capitol Police officer is on a tour of the White House with his young daughter when a heavily armed paramilitary group seizes the building, taking the President and staff hostage. Cut off from outside help, he must rely on his combat skills to survive, protect his daughter, and thwart the well-organized attackers' sophisticated plan, all while trying to evacuate the President from within the compromised and fortified building.
