The mundane becomes sinister for six people in a darker, deadly, nearly decimated New York City, ten years hence. Boyfriends bicker - and one of them might be sick. A young girl gets ready for school - chaperoned by her mother's bodyguard. A patient consults her doctor - who offers what kind of procedure exactly? Trapped in a hospital elevator, the characters collide almost comically and splinter apart quite tragically, grappling with the severity and confusion of life at the end. As the world falls apart, the ties that bind break, unleashing questions long avoided, resentments long ignored, and confrontations long postponed.
