A poet named Charles Snell escapes from the harsh reality of the world by going to live in a department store. On his first night, he finds a society of creatures lives there as well. The only other human with them is a servant girl named Ella. Based on John Collier's haunting short story, this is the original story about people who dwell in department stores at night. In this eerie tale, the disenchanted poet discovers a secret nocturnal society living within the department store's dark labyrinth, but soon learns that attempting to escape comes with deadly consequences involving the mysterious "Dark Men." This atmospheric thriller explores themes of artistic isolation, forbidden love, and the price of trying to escape from reality.
