Now they're graduating and about to start new lives away at college and without each other. Beyond their friendship, there's one thing they have in common: the Circle Cinema, a once thriving old movie theater now reduced to a boarded up concrete box, condemned and about to be forgotten forever--which is, as far as Olivia and Codman can tell, a lot like what's going to happen to them. So in one last desperate effort to hold on to whatever they have, Bertucci hatches a plan--he convinces Olivia and Codman to join him in spending their last night before graduation locked inside the Cinema's concrete walls. None of them can open the box before sunrise. Over the course of the night, the trio is then forced to face each other, the events of the past year, and whatever is to come when the new day dawns.
