What it’s about. TJ Owens leads a simple life.

That is until one night during a bitter winter storm. Trapped in a cold, desolate warehouse with an escaped serial killer known for mentally torturing his victims before decapitating them, TJ must do whatever it takes to survive. A typical work night at the warehouse abruptly turns into a bizarre game of cat and mouse. Suddenly TJ’s run-of-the-mill life careens off its track.
