In a poor neighborhood of Los Angeles, while violent riots monopolize the efforts of the vast majority of the police, two sergeants on patrol receive a call as the night begins. They meet a terrified teenager who tells them she lives in an unsanitary place, with several other children in danger because of the owners. So the police are going there but they won't have backup for a while. Once in this remote old house, in an abandoned neighborhood, they discover a secret underground vault, which seems to have been built a long time ago. Despite the teenager's protests, they search there, before discovering that the people attacking the children aren't human but terrible ogres ! Obviously originating from Germany, these creatures are responsible for numerous disappearances in this city for decades. They're large, powerful, don't feel pain and love to make their prey suffer to improve their taste, using children as bait while treating them like slaves ! The police officers are going to take a real dive into Hell, where they don't seem capable of standing up to the ogres, but the latter would be wrong to underestimate these men, because no one is more dangerous than when they're cornered !
