Parallels

Brother and sister Ronan (Mark Hapka) and Beatrix Carver (Jessica Rothe) are separately summoned to their childhood home in cryptic cell phone messages from their estranged dad. It's tense between the two when they converge on the house only to find their dad is gone. Almost immediately, circumstances (his car left behind, a strange object seemingly left behind for them to discover) lead Ronan and Beatrix, along with Harry, a curious young neighbor, to believe that their father is missing, perhaps not of his own accord. After a visit to local police where they get no help, they follow the only other clue they have: an unfamiliar address that was mentioned in their dad's eerie messages. At the designated location they find a derelict, abandoned building. Inside it's covered in strange graffiti, contains some peculiar objects, and has an unmistakable aura of grim mystery. Suddenly, the building begins to take on a life of its own, with shattering roars, lightning flashes, and terrible tremors. When it stops, the three heroes have been plunged into the film's PARALLELS, a world with an infinite number of planet Earths, all functioning in the same time frame but with a vast array of conditions, landscapes, technologies, populations, and political structures. Most crucially, along with surprising events, mysterious technology, and deadly fighting, the crew comes up against a bizarre collection of characters, who may be friend, enemy, or both.
