MNN's first mini series shows how a curse, placed by former slaves, has returned to haunt America. Five co-workers are trapped in one building with no escape, no food, and no water. No one can go outside, no one can look out the window, or they will choke to death. When all ethical rules disappear, survival will have them questioning which body will get sacrificed to keep everyone alive.
