About the Story (2013)
An unspecified disaster occurs on board a military plane, which causes the aircraft to crash into Greater London, releasing its highly classified contents across the city. Following the crash, a malfunction at the Storage 24 facility causes the security gates to lock down, inadvertently trapping several people inside: Mark, Charlie, Chris, the building receptionist, a maintenance engineer, Nikki, and Charlie’s girlfriend Shelley. Charlie arrives at the facility with his best friend Mark shortly after the accident, unaware what has happened, intent on confronting his recently ex-girlfriend.
The confrontation is brief, and he quickly discovers she has been cheating on him with Mark. Meanwhile, the engineer and the receptionist are attempting to unlock the security gates. They venture into the facility basement to access the electrical controls. The engineer is attacked and killed by a creature of unknown origin. The receptionist flees into the facility and hides in an open storage room.
The power in the facility is cutting in and out, and the characters are forced back together when they discover they cannot leave the building. Looking around, they discover Chris huddled in a room, apparently unable to speak, and covered in blood. By following the drops of blood, they quickly discover that above the drop-ceiling panels are the shredded remains of the receptionist.
As Nikki tumbles from the room looking ill, she is grabbed by an old man and threatened with an electrical toothbrush. They knock the man unconscious and tie him up, believing he is responsible for the murder. When he comes to, they learn he was not involved in the murder, and is merely a resident of a nearby storage unit, hiding away from his wife. When Chris can finally speak, they learn that a creature of some kind is loose in the facility with them, and they are not safe.
Together they hide in the unit owned by the old man, as he is able to lock it from the inside. The man then helps them to piece together what must have happened, by showing them the news from a collection of televisions he has wired up. They see that London is in a state of total lockdown, with fighter jets and tanks encircling the area. The old man believes the creature must have been on board the crashed aircraft. They decide their only hope is to escape from the facility, and to do that they will need the equipment the engineer had with him in the basement. Before they make a move for the basement, they decide to use the ventilation pipes connecting the units in order to search other units for weapons.
