Captive by way of taking refuge in a magnificent country estate, Dale and Ron find themselves participants in a... game of survival. Dale, a stripper, is resentful of the way she has been treated in the past. Their hostage, Andrew , appears to represent everything she’s been unable to have but always wanted. Ron, impulsive and out of control, loves Dale and will do whatever he can to take her away from her old life. Dale saves Andrew from being killed by Ron. However Ron gets a deal of 40,000 dollars to keep Andrew alive. Someone, though, must go to the bank and cash in the cheque. Andrew suggests Dale do it since she resembles his fiancee, Gabrielle.
