“Funny and thoughtful… will restore your faith in humanity!” -Examiner.com
When a power outage traps six different groups of New Yorkers inside elevators on Christmas Eve, they find that laughter, romance, and a little holiday magic will get them through – and change their lives in unexpected ways. A heartless real estate tycoon (Patrick Stewart, “X-Men”) clings to life in a precarious construction elevator hundreds of feet off the ground. Unexpected relationships bloom for a musician (Cheryl Hines, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) stuck with her dysfunctional orchestra mates, as well as an aspiring fashion photographer (James Roday, “Psych”) confined with the introverted paralegal in his apartment building (Julianna Guill, “Crazy Stupid Love”). A crass HR manager (Max Casella, “Vinyl”) trapped with an employee he just fired (Jon Heder, “Napoleon Dynamite”) and a cynical doctor (Gary Cole, “Office Space”) transporting his terminal patient are forced to reconsider the way they think about others in this all-star ensemble comedy that proves that in a city of eight million, you never know how your night might end.
