A high-stakes, claustrophobic thriller built entirely around a single escalating threat—a bomb in a car—that traps its protagonist in a race against time and an unseen antagonist.

On his way to work, a bank manager receives an anonymous call claiming there's a bomb under his car seat, and if anyone exits the car, it will explode unless he can pay a ransom.
