Geschichte
Reed, a seemingly ordinary businessman, leaves his wife and newborn daughter, checking into a hotel under the guise of a business trip. His true intention is to commit the perfect murder using an ice pick. He hires Jackie, an English-speaking prostitute from an escort service, as his intended victim. However, things don't go as planned when Jackie proves to be anything but ordinary and seems to anticipate Reed's intentions. A psychological game of cat and mouse ensues between the two.
