In an effort to save their business and their jobs, the family decides to rob the home of a wealthy businessman, Mr. Simon (played by Christian Potenza). The house is known to have expensive jewelry and other valuables, and the family believes that they can steal enough to turn their financial situation around.

The plan, however, doesn't go as smoothly as they had hoped. First, they have to come up with a way to get into the house without being detected.
