After the elevators at a New York City skyscraper begin inexplicably malfunctioning, putting its passengers at risk, mechanic Mark Newman and reporter Jennifer Evans begin separate investigations. Newman gets resistance from superiors at his company, which manufactured the elevator, while additional elevator incidents cause several gruesome deaths. The police get involved and suspect that terrorists are responsible, but a far stranger explanation looms.

A creeping dread fills this claustrophobic thriller. The mundane setting of an office building becomes a deathtrap as technology turns deadly. It’s a tense, unsettling ride that taps into primal fears of mechanical failure and unseen forces.
