Synopsis: The lives of five complete strangers intersect in the cold, impersonal departure lounge of a large international airport. A weather delay forces the stranded passengers to acknowledge and eventually interact with their fellow travelers.

By the time the weather clears and they can all continue to their destinations, hidden truths will have been revealed with a few surprises as we learn that some of them are not who we thought they were.
