New York. It is a quiet evening of the Labour Day weekend. Jack is a rich and famous man who hosts America's most popular TV game show: "Three Minutes." He would appear to lack nothing. Jack is attacked and tortured by a mysterious woman in the confines of an elevator in the building where Jack lives. The woman has studied her revenge meticulously; she is cynical and scientific in carrying out her plan. She knows the mechanism of the elevator and the plan of the building and has chosen a time when there is no one about. She has been in Jack's house; she knows his habits and she knows his show by heart. The very game show is her torture tool. She asks questions to mislead and fool Jack into thinking that his answers may save his life. But is she insane or is there truth in her accusations? Is Jack guilty, or is he caught up in a deathly game not of his making?
