A claustrophobic pressure-cooker thriller where nine strangers trapped with a bomb must confront their own morality and survival instincts as desperation overrides humanity.

Nine people are stuck in an elevator. One of them has a ticking bomb that can't be defused. The other eight will do anything to survive. There is no escape and no promise of rescue. As the tension in the elevator mounts the unthinkable soon becomes the only reasonable solution.
