First thing on a Monday morning in New York, whilst people are heading into work, 4 people step into an elevator and press buttons to go up to different floors. On the journey up, instead of stopping at the requested floors, the elevator goes all the way up to the top. The doors don’t open. The elevator then plummets all the way down to the bottom. The occupants don’t all get out alive.
On Tuesday there is another elevator malfunction in another building. On Wednesday there is another elevator accident in yet another building. Each day people are dying.
Mayor Richard Headley announces that all elevators in the city must not be used until they have been inspected. There are about 7000 elevators in the city and 28 inspectors. This brings the city to a stand still. How can some of the elderly people who live many floors up in apartment buildings get up and down using the stairs?
Reporter Barbara Matheson, who is no fan of the local Mayor, hears that the elevators may have been sabotaged and starts her own investigation to work out of there is a link between the buildings and the events.
