Stranded in a quiet Pennsylvanian city, flatbed truck driver Dan leaves his cab to explore his surroundings, only to be drawn to an old steel factory that seems frozen in time. Inside the rusting labyrinth, curiosity turns into a surreal inner journey as memories, industrial echoes, and dreamlike visions blur the boundary between reality and imagination.
