Marvin Bowdoin and his wife Linda are beloved members of the community of Juliette, Georgia, and their Bowdoin's Grocery Store has been a neighborhood staple for more than six decades. Late one night, after packing up their store as they have done countless times, they drive a quarter-mile up the road to their modest home and tuck in for a quiet night. Just minutes later, everything suddenly changes when a shotgun-toting masked intruder violently kicks in their door, threatening to take Marvin and Linda's lives.
