60 minutesBand Room
In the eerie confines of an airport terminal, five strangers become ensnared in the grip of a violent storm, severing all connections to the outside world. While the tempest rages, reality is distorted within the terminal as the passengers begin unwittingly to repeat their actions and words with eerie precision. Only Lucy, a psychologically troubled woman, seems to notice the time-loop pulling at the other passengers like marionettes. Unsure of whether or not this phenomenon is a product of her own fractured brain’s design, Lucy must face the demons of her past if she ever hopes to escape.
