C'est l'heure du déjeuner dans le fast-food d'une banlieue grise de l'Ohio. Le parking se remplit et les comptoirs s'affolent, quand le téléphone sonne. Sandra, la gérante, décroche. Au bout du fil, un homme, qui se dit policier, lui explique qu'une de ses employées a volé le portefeuille d'une cliente. Il lui demande de commencer à interroger Becky, la serveuse en question, le temps que ses collègues arrivent sur place. Sans douter un instant de la sincérité de son interlocuteur, Sandra accepte et place la jeune femme sous surveillance. Becky, sans même une tentative de rébellion, se soumet aux ordres de sa patronne jusqu'à devenir sa prisonnière...
