Panic Attack

Description

Adam Bloom has the perfect life in a big house with his wife and daughter Marissa, until late one night Marissa wakes him up and says 'somebody's downstairs.' Adam uses his gun to kill one unarmed intruder, but the other escapes. Life will never be the same again. Adam doesn't feel safe, not with the other intruder out there. As the family recovers and the Blooms' relationship falls apart, Marissa falls in love with an artist named Xan. When suspicious things start happening to the Blooms all over again, Adam realizes that his bad feeling about Xan were probably dead on.
