Growing up, the three siblings were forced to abide by one rule, never open the safe. Constantly under watch by their seemingly overprotective parents, the siblings never had the chance to explore any curiousity regarding the safe's contents. But, one day the parents have to leave due to a job emergency. Left home alone with nothing to do, will the siblings go against the number one rule that their parents had always kept in place and open the safe? Will the safe contain darker things than simple expensive family heirlooms?
