Synopsis: A story right out of today’s art world headlines. Jane's brother Henry has a private collection of stolen artwork, inherited from his father. The artworks include pieces stolen during WW II. With the help of some nefarious art dealers, he has continued to add to this for his eyes only collection. The artworks are kept in what the police refer to as a "phantom room" - a secret space within the house. Betrayed by one of his art dealers, the collection is targeted by a gang of thieves. Conflicted by her brother’s “hobby”, sister Jane, a Navy pilot, gets wind of the heist, and flies home to persuade him to give up the illicit collection, and return what he can to the rightful owners before it is too late. But it is too late, and she finds herself in the middle of a heist gone terribly wrong, when her brother refuses to cooperate with the thieves. Trapped in an old mansion with a gang of robbers, she does what anyone would do under the circumstance – fights to save her family. But she has to do it John McClane style – on her own and behind the scenes. Doing this without a gun would be a pretty tall order if it weren't for the fact that her Armed Forces training and experience taught her how to take care of herself in a tight situation. It won't be easy saving her family, and it will get messy, but she will save the day.
