Ben frantically searches for clues around the room and moves the numbers on the door into position, but the wall continues to move. When he moves one of the numbers on the puzzle, the wall opposite the exit begins to move towards Ben, crushing everything in its path. Ben finds a door with a puzzle on the wall that requires him to slide four numbers into position to open.

The film opens with a panicked man (who we later find out is Ben (Logan Miller)) falling through a ceiling grate into an old-fashioned study.
