The premise

A crew of coal miners becomes trapped 600 feet below ground after a disastrous collapse. As the air grows more toxic and time runs out, they slowly descend into madness and begin to turn on one another. Inspired by true events.

Horror Vault's take

Six hundred feet underground, a routine shift becomes a fight for survival when a catastrophic mine collapse traps a crew of coal miners with dwindling air and no clear rescue in sight. As the hours stretch on, the darkness does more than just surround them — it gets inside their heads. Paranoia and desperation fracture the bonds between coworkers, turning colleague against colleague in the most confined of spaces. Inspired by real events, this suffocating thriller asks how far ordinary people will go when survival is the only thing left.
