Synopsis

Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) has no intention of dying yet, but when he wakes up to discover he's six feet underground with no idea of how he got there, and more importantly who put him there or why, his life instantly becomes a struggle for survival.

A truck driver and family man, Paul is trying to keep control and stay calm in this claustrophobic situation but buried with only a cell phone and a lighter leaves him little room to try and find clues to help him discover his location.

Hampered by poor reception and a dwindling battery and limited oxygen supply, Paul is in a race against time in this tightly confined space, and has to fight paranoia as his worst nightmare becomes a reality.
