This is the ninth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

Jarvis Dolan and Andrew Wilde were the hosts of a successful radio talk show. They took a break for a few months because of rape allegations brought against Andrew, but now they want to get back on air. The studio boss suggests that Jarvis does the show by himself, but he insists on Andrew joining him. After all, Andrew was never officially charged with rape.

On their first day back two masked men break into the studio, intending to force Jarvis and Andrew to confess to the rape. Andrew confesses at gunpoint to having raped a girl. Jarvis refuses to confess, because he says that he wasn't in the room when the rape took place.

Despite the tense atmosphere, this is ultimately an unsatisfying film. Most of the film is made up of repetitive dialogue, the same questions and the same answers being repeated over and over again. Whatever the intention of the film is meant to be, it fails.
