A downtown Manhattan loft, a farewell party, and a camcorder switched on to collect goodbye messages. Rob is leaving for Japan, but the night turns when the ground shakes, the power flickers, and the head of the Statue of Liberty comes crashing down a city street. Something enormous has arrived in New York. Shot entirely on that handheld tape, the film follows the friends through collapsing subway tunnels, rooftops and ruined avenues as they try to reach a trapped companion uptown.
