Clock in. Keep your head down. Whatever you do, don't ask questions.
Randy is down on his luck. Fresh off a breakup and struggling to make ends meet, he's got one priority: providing for his daughter. So when he lands a factory job that finally promises a decent paycheck, he can't afford to be picky. For the first time in a long time, things might actually be looking up.
Welcome to a workplace where Big Brother is always watching, management makes the rules, and disobedience can be punished in ways that would make even the most hardened worker think twice. Strange coworkers, sinister supervisors, and a system of control that grows more terrifying by the day turn Randy's new opportunity into a waking nightmare.
As the factory's horrifying secrets begin to unravel, Randy finds himself trapped in a nightmare where flesh meets metal, reality becomes increasingly unreliable, and survival comes at a terrible price. With his past catching up to him and the line between sanity and madness beginning to dissolve, he must decide how much he's willing to endure-and how far he'll go to fight back.
Because at this factory, the cost of punching out might be higher than the cost of staying.
