THE ONE-HOUR DINER
A man and a woman, complete strangers to one another, receive the same cryptic text message: Be at the Crossroads Diner at the intersection of highways 9 and 11. Come alone at 2:17 a.m. and don't be late!
Drawn there by grief and curiosity, they arrive at a lonely roadside establishment where the coffee is hot, the lights are inviting, and the clock above the counter is frozen at 2:17.
It never, ever moves!
Seated across from each other in booth 5, they wait for someone or something to show up, but no one comes. Instead, memories begin to reveal themselves through the diner's windows, showing their part in a terrible tragedy 3 years earlier, a murder!
Every attempt to leave the diner ends the same way: a reset; in an instant, they are seated back in the booth again. The same song plays on the jukebox, the same half-empty sugar dispenser sits on the tabletop, and the same unchanging time of day refuses to move forward.
Trapped in a place that may not actually exist, they are forced to confront a terrifying possibility: they were both there that fateful morning and played an integral role in something neither of them chose to remember, and what they've told themselves for the past three years is a lie.
The diner will not release them until they learn the truth of what happened in those critical minutes, and how their presence that morning was tied to a murder that was never solved.
Is the diner real or a creation of two people's tortured souls, a construct born from guilt and trauma, built by two fractured minds desperate to unbury the truthful past?
Time has stopped!
The truth has not!
