On one chaotic night, various criminals, including a wounded bank robber (Sterling K. Brown), a deadly assassin (Sofia Boutella), and a notorious mob boss (Jeff Goldblum), converge on the hotel, each with their own agendas. As tensions rise and the rules of the hotel begin to break down, The Nurse and her loyal assistant, Everest (Dave Bautista), must navigate a dangerous and volatile situation to maintain control.
