Na casa do vice-presidente de algum país da América do Sul, uma elegante festa de aniversário está sendo realizada. O homenageado é o Sr. Hosokawa, poderoso empresário japonês. Roxane Coss, soprano de fama internacional, fascina os convidados. É uma noite perfeita – até que um bando armado invade o local pelos dutos de ar-condicionado e torna todos os convidados reféns. O objetivo inicial era sequestrar o presidente, mas ele ficou em casa assistindo à novela. E assim, desde o início, nada sai como o esperado. No entanto, o que começa como um cenário de pânico e risco de vida evolui para algo completamente novo, com terroristas e reféns desenvolvendo laços inesperados e pessoas de diferentes países agindo como compatriotas.
