Shot entirely in the back of a car, the film follows three aspiring criminals as they grab a local troublemaker who owes them money, throw him into the back of a car and speed off into the night. The macho facade crumbles, and the journey gradually descends into chaos, as the men drive through the night looking for the elusive perfect spot to teach their captive a lesson.
