After accepting what she believes is a ride to pick up her rental car, Winnie realizes too late that shes been kidnapped. What follows is a riveting psychological game of cat and mouse set in the kidnappers tropically heated house--kept that way for Cookie, a menacing seven-foot long Iguana headquartered in the kitchen. While desperately seeking to escape--which leads to several violent clashes with her increasingly unstable kidnapper--Winnie also tries to understand why she was taken captive.
