Welcome to life at the bottom of the food chain.

ComedyDrama

Four young office workers have a bet going to see who can last the longest without going outside. In the maze that is the downtown core of a large city, glass skywalks connect apartment buildings, office towers and shopping malls. Its day 28 of the bet and over the lunch hour, as the office prepares for the company founder's retirement party, things start to seriously unravel.

VIBE

A bleakly funny, existential dive into the soul-crushing monotony of corporate life. It feels like being trapped in a never-ending office purgatory, where the only escape is a bet that spirals into absurdity.
