Billy Wiles has lead a pretty simple life so far, until one day he's leaving work and discovers a note under his windshield wipers that reads: If you don’t take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The choice is yours. Thinking it's a joke, Billy disregards the note, but the next day, news of a ***ed schoolteacher surface and Billy thinks that this is more than just a prank. Then he starts getting more notes with the stakes rising higher every time. Soon Billy is in a twisted downward spiral of a psycopath's game, juggling one life for another where, ultimately, the choice is yours.
