Synopsis/Details
A group of five strangers find themselves trapped in an elevator, dangling several stories in the air, but when one of them is found dead, their focus is split between finding an escape and identifying a potential killer in their midst. Straining to find common ground, the investigation is ripe with accusations as a particularly vocal, and deathly ill, conservative woman pokes holes in every theory and fuels her own with incorrect judgments of the other passengers. After a series of movements reposition the cabin, one member of the group, a young deaf woman, is able to get out for help, but it does little to calm the tension inside, as new discoveries put everything into question. Once the killer is finally revealed, the threat to their lives grows greater and, in the end, only one of those remaining leaves the elevator alive.
