A display case key has gone missing at a mass merchandise department store. The two men and three other employees are suspected of taking the key and are detained in a break room from which they are removed one-at-a-time for questioning. Humiliated and fearful that they will all be fired if the key and the person responsible are not found, the five employees struggle to find a way out. The path they choose may be one of hope, one of surrender, or one of delusion. But, their struggle will expose the hopes, the fears, the aspirations, and the resentments that arise from five very different lives.
