Compliance is based on a bizarre true story and stars Ann Dowd as Sandra, the middle-aged manager of a fast food joint, who receives a call from someone purporting to be a police officer (Pat Healy), accusing one of her teenage employees (Dreama Walker as Becky) of having stolen money from a customer. Sandra duly complies with the officer's request and detains Becky, ostensibly until the police arrive, but the officer's demands become increasingly inappropriate and events take an extremely dark turn.
