The film was originally scheduled to be released on November 15, 2002, but was delayed until April 4, 2003 due to the Beltway sniper attacks. Stu Shepard is an arrogant publicist who is contemplating cheating on his wife Kelly . He calls Pam , a young actress, from a phone booth.... When a delivery man tries to deliver a free pizza to the booth, Stu rudely dismisses him. After the phone call with Pam, the phone rings and Stu answers it. The caller , says that Stu should have accepted the pizza as it would have "kept his strength up for what comes next". He warns Stu not to leave the booth. Stu, again dismissive, is skeptical toward the mystery caller. The caller says that he will say hi to Kelly for him, then hangs up, leaving Stu visibly concerned.
