Laura Temming wakes up to find herself bound to a bed in a sound-insulated vacant apartment.

As the clock ticks, Laura discovers that she may have a relationship with one of the kidnappers that she never expected... and that the two men hold a secret that one could not have expected.

Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.
