Susan is horrified when three masked men with handguns smash the door to her house in late one night. Susan immediately runs to the bedroom to wake her husband Michael with the gang of men close behind. As Michael bravely tries to fend off their attackers, the fight spills into the living room and Susan quickly makes a 911 call from the bedroom. Fearing for her husband's life, she then grabs the .22 caliber pistol Mike keeps in their bedroom in a desperate bid to save both their lives. After firing a couple of shots over the men's heads, the struggle intensifies. One of the men callously shoots Mike in the side and, as he slumps to the floor, Susan flees again to the bedroom certain that her brave husband is dead. Concern for Mike means Susan is unaware of the severity of her own injuries until paramedics arrive and confirm that she has been shot twice and suffered a collapsed lung during the violent fracas.
