Synopsis

Spoiler shield

On Thanksgiving Eve, a looming hurricane strands four strangers inside a small-town grocery market. As the storm stalls and tensions rise, secrets are unearthed, unexpected bonds form, and redemption emerges in the unlikeliest of aisles. A contained dramedy about connection, empathy, and the fragile humanity we find when forced to stop and face each other.
