Synopsis:
Little person Brady O’Hare, who was working as an accountant for an alleged crime boss named Abe Denny, just quit his job. His work has kept him away from his loving wife Sara and his two small children, and he cannot wait to stop driving the lonely roads between California and Nevada. He just has one more stop to make on the way home.
He books a room at the sleazy Rest Easy Motel, a bizarre choice for a germaphobe like Brady, but it’s the last place anyone would ever look for him. Once inside the room, we discover why he would stay at this roach infested dump. Inside the box spring, Brady has constructed a secret vault stuffed with thousands of dollars that he has skimmed from his former employer. Enough money to buy his wife her dream home. But before he can grab the cash and dash, he is thwarted by two of Mr. Denny’s most dangerous thugs, Big Larry and Cyril. He’s been followed!
Quickly, he rolls under the bed and squeezes up into the box spring, a second before they break in. Trapped in the room with his potential killers, Brady must use his wits and suffer endless torments to find a way to escape and survive!
