Plot
Stuart Shepard (Colin Farrell) is an arrogant New York City publicist who has been courting Pamela McFadden (Katie Holmes) behind the back of his wife Kelly (Radha Mitchell). On a routine walk around Times Square, Stu uses the last remaining public phone booth in the city to contact Pam. During the call, he is interrupted by a pizza delivery man, who attempts to deliver a free pizza to him, but Stu rudely turns him away. As soon as Stu completes his call, the phone rings. Stu answers, to find that a man on the phone, who knows his name, warns him not to leave the booth, and says he will call both Pam and Kelly.
