Suppose a trio of desperate escaped convicts–vicious and frightened–simply took over your home? Then you’d be in the same dreadful predicament faced by the Hilliards, whose quite suburban home was turned into a jungle lair. The Hilliard’s nightmare began in broad daylight–by an incredible twist of fate–three escapees form the federal prison in Terre Haute chose a home just outside the city limits of Indianapolis as a temporary hideout. The innocent courage of the helpless family–husband, wife, daughter and small son; the arrogance of the trigger-happy criminals; the deep-seated desire for vengeance of a deputy-sheriff–three forces speed this taut story toward its terrifying end. How would you have reacted in the face of such inexorable pressure, knowing every minute that death for you and your family was creeping closer and closer? And what would you have learned about the people you thought you knew most completely, if they and you had had to make instant decisions on which life and death depended?
