A claustrophobic thriller about neighbors trapped in sealed apartments, forced to confront both external mystery and internal conflict as resources dwindle and trust erodes.

Neighbors in a block wake one morning to find they have been sealed inside their apartments. Can they work together to find out why? Or will they destroy each other in their fight to escape?
