After a long day at work, Lyra arrives home to find her friends waiting inside with a surprise party. How’d they get in? After a brief time hanging out, Phoenix declares the party they're throwing is boring and demands a drinking game. They decide to play Truth or Dare instead.
Phoenix is dared to go in the neighbors pool and he pressures the others to join him by using the taunt of the immature. He calls them chickens.
The pool turns out to be indoors which makes this breaking and entering. Leo tells his girlfriend to chill out since the neighbor said they could use the pool, but Lyra has mentioned multiple times she’s afraid the neighbor will come home and catch them.
After Phoenix disappears, the others discover he’s broken into the house by punching a code into the key pad. Turns out if you’ve a grunt in the military no keypad can stop you because the military uses the same code for everything. The girls find the basement door is open and Phoenix in a basement lab playing with a giant egg.
When the home owner arrives unexpectedly, they are trapped inside. When he finds the egg is cracked, he provides exposition. The egg is from outer space and he stole it so the government wouldn’t use the creature inside. How does no one suspect him since only a few people had access to this egg? He talks to alien soothingly until it murders him.
Lyra and her friends are stuck in the house and can’t get out, which is odd since our alien has found a way out to the pool to try to kill the couple who didn’t come inside. What’s amazing is that anyone survives. None of them are very bright. They split up, leave doors open when trying to hide and don’t make good decisions. When one girl finds a way in to try to rescue the others, she says they need to figure how to get out. What about the way you came in? Why can the newly hatched alien figure out how to get into and out of the house, but there people who are familiar with doors and windows can’t? Also how does the creature know how to open doors?
At the end Lyra sadly says everything is her fault for celebrating her birthday, which just make you wish she hadn’t survived. The real culprit is Phoenix who took the dare to go to the pool, broke into the house, and then into the basement lab. And when things went wrong he said don’t call the police because he’ll be sent back to jail if they find out he broke in. So if anyone should be blamed, it’s Phoenix.
