Three strangers living in the same building -- shy, introverted Claudia (Amber Tamblyn), ladies' man Tommy (Armie Hammer) and doctor Karl (Aidan Gillen) -- wind up stuck in a malfunctioning elevator. Claudia is desperate to get out and back to the hospital to be near her dying grandmother, while Tommy wants to hit the beach with his girlfriend. Karl, on the other hand, is mentally unraveling, and it may be that the dangerous elevator is the least of Claudia and Tommy's problems.
