Tom, a Steve Buscemi type with less drive, takes the night shift job at Your Storage in Chicago armed with security monitors, lackluster wit, a late night radio DJ, and his trusty office chair Grace Kelly, but the usually easy gig takes a mysterious turn when one of the regulars, Mrs. Jones, lures an unsuspecting man into her unit - a man that Tom never sees again.
