A local sheriff enters a home where multiple homicides have been committed; the victims are three children and their babysitter, all slaughtered brutally by an intruder using his bare hands. In Colorado, 125 miles away from the crime scene, 16-year-old Jill Johnson is on her way to babysit for the wealthy Mandrakis family, as punishment for exceeding her cell phone minutes. When she arrives, Mrs. Mandrakis shows her around and tells her about their live-in housemaid, Rosa.
