Stops an elevator at publishing company and make out

Who among us hasn't been stuck in an elevator? This is what happened to Evgeniy, who did not reach his mistress’s floor by some meter. The rescue service, fire crews, ambulance, police and neighbors called are unable to repair the elevator. The unexpected salvation of the would-be lover, drunk from the cognac and champagne he had stored up, comes in the person of the heroine’s husband.

After the elevators at a New York City skyscraper begin inexplicably malfunctioning, putting its passengers at risk, mechanic Mark Newman and reporter Jennifer Evans begin separate investigations. Newman gets resistance from superiors at his company, which manufactured the elevator, while additional elevator incidents cause several gruesome deaths. The police get involved and suspect that terrorists are responsible, but a far stranger explanation looms.
