Incall
A family man finds himself the target of blackmail when he visits a prostitute and accidentally kills her pimp.
Project collaboration:
Open
Synopsis:
When his emotionally frigid wife Diane and young son leave for a wedding, struggling real
estate agent Paul Chamberlain's friends urge him to enjoy his temporary bachelorhood.
His best friend Nate, a reporter, plants the idea of prostitution in his head when he describes
a police sting to catch street walkers. Later that evening, Paul answers an
on-line ad for an escort named Bianca. They agree to meet at a seedy motel, but Paul
brings a knife with him. Just in case.
Bianca welcomes Paul into her room and tells him to undress as she departs to the bathroom.
As Paul lies in bed awaiting Bianca's return, he hears voices. Panicked, Paul quickly dresses,
arms himself with the knife, and tries to leave. Joel, Bianca's boyfriend and pimp, stops him.
A fight ensues, and Joel is dead. In the fracas, the motel manager bangs on the door to inquire
about the noise. Bianca and Paul decide to cover up Joe's death rather than call the police
and letting the whole world know what they were doing.
Paul and Bianca load the body into the trunk of Paul's car. As they are about to depart, they
are stopped by Crawford a friend of Joel's who was expecting to meet him. Bianca blows
Crawford off, and they continue. They overcome Paul's nosy neighbor and a helpful but
suspicious passerby when they get a flat tire. Eventually, they bury the body in the desert.
A few weeks later, the body is discovered. Nate, has been assigned to cover the Joel's death,
and Paul exhibits a strong curiosity about the crime and even accompanies Nate to the
investigation site. When an illegal immigrant is caught driving Joel's abandoned car and
accused of the murder, Paul's conscience forces him sow seeds of doubt into Nate's mind which
leads him to delve deeper into Joel's murder.
Meanwhile Crawford starts to put pieces together himself. He accuses Bianca of being responsible for
Joel's death as he saw her and Paul load something large into the trunk. Bianca denies it, but
Crawford remains adamant and demands money or else he will go to the police with what he knows.
Bianca explains the situation to Paul, and they decide to kill Crawford. Their murder attempt fails.
Crawford turns the tables on Paul and beats him up. Bianca and Paul find themselves at Crawford's
mercy. Paul pays large sums of money to Crawford which in turn causes his wife to become
suspicious.
Twists and turns abound. Will Crawford turn Paul in when he runs out money? Will Nate discover
that his best friend has committed murder, or will Diane find out first? And is Bianca really on his side.
Find out in the unexpected climatic ending of Incall.
