Plot: Ten people of different identities were trapped in a small hotel due to weather and communication interruption. They included a driver, a hotel manager who was strange, a prostitute, a former actress, a couple, and a detective who was in prison. The thriller story began. They died one by one and left their license plates in order. The number of the ten survivors gradually decreased; they began to panic and suspect each other but accidentally discovered the connection between them. The tiny hotel room was steeped in mystery, yet there was a truth to this kind of murder case that people could not surmise.
Cast: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John Hawkes, Alfred Molina
