Plot

After losing their parents in a car accident, Ruby and Rhett Baker are placed under the guardianship of the Glass family, former neighbors/parents' best friends and childless couple who live in a large glass house in Malibu. Life is great for both siblings at first. However, Ruby soon discovers that her new foster parents are after the siblings' $4 million trust fund. Ruby discovers that the car her parents died in was a BMW loaned from the Glass' company and suspects that Mr. Glass was responsible for their deaths.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Mrs. Glass overdoses and dies. Shocked to find his wife dead, Mr. Glass traps Ruby and Rhett in the basement. Eventually, the two escape. After a brutal car accident due to Mr. Glass tampering with his own car in the same fashion as he did with the kids' parents, Mr. Glass kills a policeman and tries to lure Ruby and Rhett towards him. Ruby hits Mr. Glass with a police car, killing him instantly. In the end, Ruby and Rhett end up living with their uncle.
