Het ruziënde echtpaar Caroline en Lloyd zijn op kerstavond op weg naar huis na hun relatietherapie. De voortvluchtige inbreker Gus kidnapt hen en houdt zich schuil in hun villa. Gus wordt gek van de ruzies tussen het echtpaar en begint met zijn wapen te zwaaien. Hierdoor beginnen Caroline en Lloyd eindelijk naar elkaar te luisteren. Maar als de gevreesde moeder van Lloyd komt eten, doet Gus net of hij hun relatietherapeut is. Daarmee worden de problemen niet bepaald opgelost.
Nee, helaas is The Ref nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
