Tara has been grabbed by a man who has robbed the bank where she works. To ensure a clean getaway, he takes Tara with him to hold as a hostage. When it turns out that that the police have not managed to track him, he is left wondering what to do with this girl. His first step is to tie her up (most of which is included) and gag her, then sits with her wondering if she might be willing to stay. The alternative is to dispose of her, and it seems he would rather not do that. He wants Tara to like him and decides to leave her bound and gagged until she changes her mind about staying. After struggling for a long time to get free, Tara grows very tired and falls asleep. When her captor returns to untie her, she thinks that maybe he is going to let her go, but instead, he leaves her ankles tied and lifts her onto a chair.
