Short description
A furniture salesman named Clark discovers a mysterious portal in his store's basement, leading him into a parallel dimension. This otherworldly realm consists of an endless, windowless labyrinth of yellow corridors and office spaces where time and space do not follow normal logic. While the environment appears empty, the characters are pursued by unknown entities as they attempt to navigate the surreal landscape.
