Synopsis:

At sunrise five people meet on a high-rise rooftop in order to leap to their deaths. Five completely different mind sets. None of them knows about the other as to why they want to terminate their lives so abruptly. They don't even know each others names. The only bond that ties them together in a tragic and bizarre way is knowing that at any minute they are about to jump. But a chain reaction of absurd situations is unfolding forcing them to spend a whole day waiting up on the roof until sundown. They are stranded on an island, their own parallel universe surrounded by and cut off from the hustle of the city. Initial dislike and rejection of one another eventually turns into an unforeseen alliance. All five of them experience a day they won't ever forget.

At sunrise, five strangers gather along the edge of the roof of a high-rise building. They share a common interest: they all want to commit suicide. However, the 'Suicide Club' soon find themselves thwarted by a succession of increasingly absurd events. As the day wears on up on the rooftop, the would-be suicides turn inwards upon themselves. Tensions spark, emotions run high, alliances and fragile confidences are slowly built and shared along a spidery web of tentative trust. The rooftop becomes a stage upon which the characters each unravel their personal journeys and reveal what drove them to such desperate measures.
