Carousel

Trapped in a giant shopping centre should be the dream. They have everything they need, except a way out.

Nox is an arts graduate wondering what to do with his life. Taylor and Lizzy are famous indie musicians, and Rocky works the checkouts at Target.

When they find themselves trapped in a giant shopping centre, they eat fast food, watch bad TV and wait for the mess to be sorted. But when days turn into weeks, a sense of menace grows.
