Spoiler shield

Four unsuspecting victims are hurled into a twisted and altered reality: ... a young woman tries to flee a hit-and-run with destiny... an ex-ballroom champion hides a mysterious secret from the past in his bedroom... a routine job for a hitman takes an unusual turn... and a woman finds herself trapped in a train station with a bizarre railway clerk. All four soon discover that their preconceived notions of reality couldn't be further from the truth.
