The story of a Hasidic girl, Devorah, who has a chance meeting in a hospital elevator, during a power out, with
a young black teen named Jaxon. Contrary to Devorah’s stereotype of black boys, Jaxon is respectful and tries
to help them escape from the dark elevator. An unlikely friendship develops. Although they would both like
their friendship to develop into something more, Devorah realizes that she does not want to give up her
relationship with her family and her community, and they each must go on with their individual lives.
