Synopsis
Nine Floors.
One Relic. Hours to Implosion.
Jimmy Romero (Jonny Cruz) is an ex-thief turned adventure-loving “urban explorer” who delves into abandoned buildings, storm drains, and forgotten tunnels for fun and challenge. He and his partner Micki Thorne (Hallee Hirsh) have never met a “Keep Out” sign they could resist.
Blackmailed by ruthless tycoon Sebastian Koenig (Steve Railsback), they guide Koenig’s operative Gin Cross (Nathalie Kelley) through a shattered office tower mere hours before it is to be imploded. Hidden somewhere in the explosive-packed interior is a priceless relic spirited out of France on the eve of World War II.
But others want the prize too: a shadowy religious order led by Reverend Artemis Quaid (Robert Picardo), and a psychopathic treasure hunter, Eric Volker (Gregory Jbara). Jimmy is pulled into a nine-story battle of wits and fists while the clock counts down to implosion.
