Synopsis/Details
Lance, a cold and calculating executive in a financial firm, fires an employee without hesitation—reducing a decade of loyalty to a single phrase: “You’re replaceable.” Moments later, on his way to a meeting, he steps into an elevator.
Inside, something breaks.
Time distorts. His body fails. The elevator accelerates beyond reality.
When Lance awakens, he is no longer in the building, but inside a series of shifting, surreal environments that echo his behavior: a room where voices repeat his own words back at him, a corporate space where he must repeatedly decide who deserves to exist, and fragments of a quiet, struggling home life he barely noticed.
There, a child appears—not threatening, but persistent—asking simple questions Lance refuses to answer.
As the world strips away logic, control, and identity, Lance is led into an endless desert, where a distant tower becomes his only perceived escape.
At the base of the tower, he is given one final opportunity: to acknowledge what he has done and choose differently.
He refuses.
At the summit, surrounded by nothing, Lance justifies himself one last time—before falling into the void.
He wakes again.
Back in the elevator.
This time, he knows.
And the cycle begins again.
