When 16-year-old Ruby Baker and her younger brother Rhett suddenly lose their parents in a tragic car accident, their lives are turned upside down. Left orphaned and grieving, they are placed in the care of family friends, Erin and Terry Glass—seemingly warm, wealthy, and welcoming guardians who take them into their ultra-modern Malibu glass mansion. At first, the house and new lifestyle seem like a dream escape from their sorrow.
But as days go by, Ruby begins to sense something is off. Terry’s behavior swings between charming and menacing, and Erin appears anxious and distant, often sedated. The glamorous exterior of their new home starts to crack, revealing secrets hidden beneath the surface. When Ruby starts asking questions, she’s met with vague answers, manipulation, and a growing sense of isolation.
The tension intensifies as Ruby discovers troubling truths: the Glasses are in deep financial trouble, Terry has a violent temper, and there may be a sinister motive behind their sudden willingness to take in two orphaned children with a large inheritance. With no one believing her and her every move monitored, Ruby must rely on her instincts and courage to protect herself and her brother.
What follows is a gripping psychological thriller as Ruby fights to escape the clutches of a dangerous situation. The house, once a symbol of wealth and safety, becomes a glass prison—transparent yet inescapable. Every room becomes a trap, every adult a potential threat, and every decision a matter of life or death.
The Glass House is a chilling tale of trust, betrayal, and survival. With suspense building at every turn, it keeps the audience questioning: what really lies behind the perfect image? And how far would someone go for control and greed? The film delivers a sharp mix of tension and drama that will leave you watching until the very last moment.
