An empty plane, all passengers departed, the crew having locked up and sealed the cabin. Hidden from sight and alone a woman wakes to find herself trapped.

The doors are locked, it’s dark, there’s no food or water – and it’s cold. She then hears footsteps. Something unseen is hunting her. Suddenly, her plight becomes not only to escape, but to survive.

This short thriller plays upon our imaginations and fears of being alone in places that are normally brimming with people.
