Robert Saunders (Dylan McDermott) wakes up to find himself bound and locked inside a meat locker.

Left alone, Robert finds a ventilation duct in the top of the ceiling that appears to lead to the fans inside the locker.

Just then, he finds a ringing cell phone on the floor and speaks with Detective Al Dorian, who first addresses him as "Sam".

They are accompanied this time by the bilingual Alisa (Yuliya Snigir), who accuses Robert of having stolen $8 million from them and demands its return; otherwise, he will freeze to death within four hours.

While running around the room, he knocks over some boxes revealing a seriously wounded Detective Sam Gurov lying in a shelf.

After the Russians leave again, Sam explains that after a failed hit, Oleg began moving his vast fortune around for protection; during the shuffle, the $8 million was lost.

The plan fails, and Robert, in a bid to save Sam's life, confesses that the money is hidden in the restaurant where he was abducted.

With hypothermia setting in Robert again tries to disconnect the fan wires in ventilation shaft, but is unable due to his state.

Robert uses the severed electrical wires to cause the metal meat rack to give off enough heat to warm their hands.

While Dorian is distracted with this, Alisa and Robert escape by burning through the zip ties binding their wrists together on the heated rack.

Alisa gives Robert a "birthday present" from Oleg, a box of cuts holding a large amount of money.
