After a horrific car crash on his way to a celebration, a man finds himself trapped within an atrium that is lined with a series of framed pictures. He soon discovers that there is no choice but to relive a sequence of traumatic events that have shaped his life up to that point. He is faced with the confrontation of self, undisputedly the hardest issue a human being can forcibly encounter.

The Atrium causes him to examine and confront his own inner turmoil, leading to a discovery of both morals and motives and their application in each situation, casting an entirely different light on the treatment of those around him. There is a realization that we have the capacity for change and the ability to create an existence filled with compassion and purpose beyond self. He struggles with life and death decisions that could determine his future on earth or in the great beyond.
