Samantha, a young barista living in Portland, OR has the little-known ability to step out of time. Though the time limit on her ability is only 5 minutes, it’s enough for her to use it as a way to forget the past. That is, until she meets Ethan, a young writer who can also step out of time.

Meanwhile, her father, Mark looks for a way back into his daughter’s life after ending up on the streets due to depression. This story is an exploration of periods of time that feel like the Interlocus, the playwright’s given name to the space between a lightning flash and a thunder clap.
