In the morning of September 11th, 2001. Keith Neudecker, a lawyer who worked in the North Tower, walks towards the flat of his estranged wife, Lianne, and their son Justin. He is covered in blood and moving with him there are all the other characters, including a performance artist (the falling man) who will appear around the city, dressed like a business man, leaping from high places only to be caught by a safety harness and suspended in the posture of someone falling from the World Trade Center.
