A pandemic spreads and the death toll soars In a venerable hotel an elevator gets stuck The pregnant Irene the receptionist Mia the janitor Kristof and the actress Liz are trapped On a radio they hear the world outside collapsing As hunger and thirst increase the elevator turns from safe haven to death trap As they lose hope they let go of builtin defenses and get under each others skin Kristof and Mia have a common past laden with betrayal and sorrow Irene is married to a man who abuses her Liz is torturing herself over the death of a child Finally Irenes water breaks and there is no alternative but to cut the cable that holds the elevator and plunge towards an unknown fate
