Set in a world running parallel to our own pandemic-gripped reality, Isolation dips into the life of John (Alexander Johnson), a young man sequestered in his high-rise apartment, waiting in tandem with a paused outside world swept up in illness. Even locked doors in the sky can be knocked upon, however, and when his past comes knocking, his isolation is rocked. Website | Facebook | Twitter
