A claustrophobic, paranoia-soaked time-loop thriller that traps two characters in a dystopian nightmare where trust becomes impossible and reality itself becomes unreliable.

Two old friends living in a dystopic future become trapped in a mysterious time loop — one that may have something to do with an ongoing battle between an omnipotent corporation and a ragtag band of rebels.
