The Chat

A single, middle-aged man in Pittsburgh is contacted out-of-the-blue by a strange, very frank, date-seeking, mid-30-ish, attractive lady. An online chat ensues. Her circumstances are uncertain. Doubt and suspicion arise. Is she telling him the truth? Is she just another gift-card scammer? Who will the man really meet? Anyone? Will he live to see tomorrow?

Rating: PG-13 (some sexual innuendo).
