## Synopsis

Danny moves from fear into panic as new crises arise. Willing to do whatever it takes to keep June safe, Amy devises a perilous scheme.

## Plot Summary

Isaac has been released from prison. He has a plan in mind for revenge against his cousin, Danny, who he now is aware of for being responsible of setting him up.

Meanwhile, Amy has decided to confess to everything, and she comes clean about her involvement in the events, leading up to Isaac's arrest. She reveals to the police that Danny was behind the road rage incident that led to the shooting.

Danny and Paul are both in a state of panic, as they have accidentally kidnapped an oblivious June. They are completely caught off guard when Isaac shows up with his followers, Michael and Bobby, who now take control of the situation and decide to use June as leverage to get Isaac's money back. Isaac calls Amy and he demands $500,000 to pay off his debt to the Filipino gang to prevent the gang from castrating him, in exchange for June's safe return. However, Amy is unable to come up with the cash in the required time frame. She decides to come up with an alternative plan to get Isaac off her back. She contacts him, and suggests that they rob the house of Jordan, where she knows that there is a large collection of valuable artwork and artifacts. She assures him that she can ensure the cops don't get involved.

Amy asks Isaac to leave June on her car seat of the car, before they enter the house. She then calls George, and instructs him to pick up June from her car without asking any questions. George is understandably skeptical of Amy, but he agrees to do as she says. However, he ultimately decides to call the police, which throws a wrench in Amy's plan.

Isaac and Michael break into Jordan's house, and tie up Amy, Naomi, and Jordan, in order to ransack the place. Meanwhile, Danny and Paul both knock Bobby into unconsciousness when Paul chokes him, so they can safely put June into Amy's car. They attempt to escape in Jordan's Hummer, but Michael catches up to them and holds them at gunpoint.

Isaac is distracted by the commotion outside, giving Naomi and Jordan an opportunity to escape. They make a run for Jordan's panic room, but Naomi reaches it first and slams the door shut, leaving Jordan trapped in the doorway. The door repeatedly closes on her torso, essentially cutting her in half as Naomi looks on in shock and horror.

The panic room triggers an alarm system that fills the space with fog. By the time the cops arrive, chaos has erupted, with gunfire and shouting filling the air. Michael ends up getting shot in the head, causing his untimely demise, and the SWAT team finally arrives to escort Isaac and Bobby out in handcuffs.

Paul manages to climb over Jordan's high walls and escape, but Danny is unable to reach the top. Danny finally tells Paul the truth about burning down the house and throwing out his college applications all those years ago. He encourages Paul to depart without him, and just as Paul drops down on the other side of the wall, Danny hears gunshots go off, assuming that his younger brother has been killed.

After the dust settles, Amy rushes outside to find June out of her sight, only to learn from an officer that George has already taken her. George has been granted an emergency custody order, leaving Amy devastated. She drives away, and receives an email confirming the news. Danny pulls up beside her, and they both take off down the dark road, with Amy calling the police to report one of the robbery suspects.

As they both race down the road, they both go off the edge of the cliff as an act of suicide.
