The premise

Here’s the bit.

Alone at his mother’s house, Chad gets a sinister phone call and keeps treating it like an ordinary interruption. The caller tries to stage a terrifying game, but Chad rejects the invitation, misunderstands the threats and struggles to find the right light switch. A pizza deliveryman arrives mortally wounded; Chad takes the food and returns to the couch. The killer finally appears in person and unmasks as Ferguson Tuttle, a former schoolmate with a long list of grievances. Chad barely remembers him and soon turns back to television. Even the killer’s concern for the white couch cannot prevent the spilled pizza from bringing his revenge scheme to an abrupt, self-inflicted end.
