Two hit-men, Ben and Gus, are waiting in a basement room for orders on their latest assignment. But their only communication with whoever is in charge is through a speaking tube that no one seems to be attending, and a dumb waiter that occasionally delivers unusual foods to eat. Tensions rise as they try to unravel the implications of the deliveries and of their own lives.
