Hard Truth

Will the Truth Set You Free?
To the outsider, Thomas Van Steen seems to have everything--a successful business, beautiful, sexy wife, loyal best friend, expensive cars, and custom-tailored suits. But on the inside, his life is not as perfect as it seems. His aging mother is experiencing rapidly declining health. To see her through her last days, he has set her up in his New York City penthouse with the best care money can buy. The second flaw in this perfect life? Thomas is oblivious to the fact that he's a misogynistic, narcissistic hypocrite who treats everyone except his mother with contempt and disdain. 
Celebrating a huge win at a poker game, and on the verge of closing an incredible business deal, Thomas and his idyllic existence come to a screeching halt. Exiting his apartment in a rush, he finds himself trapped in the elevator when the power goes out. Feeds from the building's security cameras are still live, though, keeping him from being completely cut off from the exterior world. Unfortunately, these only provide grainy pictures and sounds echoing off the building's stairwells, corridors, and lobby to give him clues to what's happening outside. Nothing he sees or hears is reassuring to him. 
Trapped inside, powerless in every way, he feels the cracks forming in the carefully-laid foundations of his world--exposing a cold, hard truth he is unprepared to face.
