In SLUMBER PARTY, two novice criminals, Ilya and Alexei, are sent by their mentor, Nikolai, to steal from a gangster’s mansion. To their shock, they stumble upon a tweenage slumber party hosted by the gangster’s daughter, Oxana. As they attempt the heist, Oxana and her friends foil their plans with deadly force. Disappointed but unfazed, Nikolai abandons his protegés, leaving them to their grim fate in a house filled with danger and secrets.
