Storyline

After Melissa and her family seek shelter from a storm, they become trapped. With no sign of rescue, hours turn to days and Melissa comes to realize that she and her girlfriend Amy might have something to do with the horrors that threaten to tear her family - and the entire world, apart. A family that's locking itself inside a bathroom, discussing whether or not the storm is an F5 or F 6 (only the F5 exists) exist level tornado or just a regular thunderstorm. As the storm gets worse, the daughter Melissa starts freaking out, while her younger brother Bobby and mother Diane try to pass the time playing games. When the lights go out, the father, Robert, borrows Melissa's phone to see what the matter is, only to find that they're trapped indoors by a fallen tree that's blocking the door. In the chaos of the downpour, he accidentally drops Melissa's phone. The following day, they realize that all their phones are dead. They try to ration out whatever water and food waiting to be rescued. It soon becomes evident that there is something wrong. Enough time has passed, and none of the neighbors have come to check on them. It would mean that either the neighbors are all dead, or they've already been evacuated, leaving behind just one family. — Frank Liesenborgs
