Small fry crooks Olivia (Caroline Anderson) and Diana (Vivian Belosky) have seriously botched up a job for their boss Alvara (Jamie Ragusa) and now think about taking off to Canada to escape her wrath - something Alvara has of course anticipated and has had them equipped with a GPS tracker - so eventually they end up tied up in Alvara's basement, with Alvara's right hand man Ray (Casey Sullivan) at the ready to torture them - but Alvara has a better idea, why not play a game of Russian roulette: With only one bullet in her gun, she asks the girls questions, and every time they give an answer she doesn't like, she pulls the trigger once, but if she does like the answer, she pulls the trigger on herself, to give Olivia and Diana a fair chance. Be that as it may, the girls seem to have the cards stacked against them ...

A very tight thriller miniature, and one that works quite so well because while the story is quite straightforward, there are still enough twists and turns in there to keep the audience at the edges of their seats, while the whole thing is welcomely morally ambiguous and doesn't work towards a forced happy ending at any price. And strong performances by all involved only help in making this a very enjoyable piece of genre entertainment.
