[15 minute] It's 1981 in Centralia, Pennsylvania, and Vic, Thom, Stuart and Ro are discovering that their safe, ordinary world isn't exactly as stable as it seems. When the ground beneath their feet collapses during their weekly chess game, the players fall through the floor, and find themselves in a cavern buried deep within the Earth. Everything real has been swallowed by the darkness encroaching on all sides. Everything, that is, except for the chess board and chess pieces, which remain in pristine condition. As emotional destruction accumulates alongside the ruination of the physical world, relationships begin to crumble and the lines of difference between each person begin to blur, the friends' innocent game of chess becomes their unfortunate reality.

As she attempts to recall what happened, Janey, a subconscious being from inside of Jane Doe's mind, surfaces to help her put the pieces back together.
