PENTHOUSE
By Ruhollah Ghayem

GENRE: Sci-fi, Action
LOGLINE: After a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami cut off all power and communication, a woman in a high-altitude penthouse must race against time to secure her home as its supporting cables begin to snap.

SYNOPSIS:

Jennifer leads a life of luxury in her secluded penthouse, suspended a thousand meters above the ground on a massive column. The house, a marvel of modern engineering, is held in place by a network of sturdy cables, allowing her to live in serene isolation above the bustling city below. Her peaceful existence is shattered when a violent earthquake strikes, shaking the entire structure but leaving her home miraculously intact. As Jennifer tries to assess the damage, all power and communication systems fail, plunging her into isolation. Panic sets in as she witnesses a massive tsunami engulf the city below, turning her penthouse into a lone island above a submerged world. With no way to contact the outside world and the waters rising beneath her, Jennifer decides to stay in her high-altitude sanctuary, hoping for rescue. However, her relief is short-lived when one of the critical cables supporting her home snaps. Realizing that the entire structure is at risk of collapsing, Jennifer must now confront her worst fears. She has only a limited amount of time to find a way to secure her home before the remaining cables give way, threatening to send her luxurious refuge crashing down to the devastation below. Alone and desperate, Jennifer must draw on every ounce of resourcefulness to survive the nightmare unfolding around her.
