A chance meeting brings Rick and Jane together, and at first their conversation at Rick's house seems innocent.

Surprisingly, Jane is happy to collude with Rick in this plan, but then she isn't all she originally appears to be either. By degrees, the two conspirators reveal more and more of their true identities and the crimes and violence that have linked them in the past. The encounter becomes combative; each in turn is handcuffed and threatened, each alternates between being predator and prey... twist after unexpected twist leads this clever and challenging thriller to a gripping conclusion.
