& Other Concerns

A restless 30+ woman grappling with life’s big choices enlists her three oddly unhelpful friends to free herself from a surreal escape room. Elizabeth (33) finds herself trapped in a surreal escape room. The timing couldn’t be worse, since she’s already jumpy about her big day tomorrow. One by one, her three closest friends show up, but instead of helping her, they’re more concerned with bickering about her life choices. When Elizabeth solves the final riddle without them and is knocked unconscious, her friends learn they need to work together if they’re all going to make it out alive.
