Jim is a shy, withdrawn loner, pervert and virgin.

Lana is a friendly and outgoing born again Christian who has renounced her promiscuous drug filled past. They have never met until they step into an elevator together one day. The elevator gets stuck between floors, and they start to get to know each other. A building maintenance man assures them over the elevator´s emergency intercom that a repairman is on the way. Hours, days, weeks, and months pass, and no repairmen arrive. Jim and Lana spend their days screaming into the intercom trying to get the maintenance guy to answer again. He doesn´t.

Starvation is not a problem, as Lana entered the elevator with a bag full of groceries, which is mysteriously found to be filled with fresh food every morning. After enough time passes, Jim gives up hope of escape and resigns himself to building a new life in the elevator with Lana, who he sees as his first girlfriend. Lana on the other hand desperately wants to escape, and clings to her faith in God to provide them with an opening of the elevator doors. Eventually, a reluctant and desperate romance begins.
