Everyone knows the story of the Diaz family. America grew up watching Caleb, Owen, and little Hazel star beside their famous actress mother in a beloved family sitcom until one night destroyed everything. Marie Diaz died. Hazel vanished. The perfect family became another Hollywood tragedy. Years later, Caleb Diaz remains untouchable, charming, successful, and the face of Diaz Biotech. Owen is something else entirely. Paranoid. Unstable. Haunted by memories he cannot trust and medication he no longer believes is helping him. Far from the public eye, a group of strangers wake up trapped inside a massive concrete tower. The rules are simple:The elevator only goes up.The stairs only go down.And something alive is waiting below them. As the group descends deeper into the Tower, they uncover monstrous experiments, warped realities, and horrors tied directly to the Diaz family itself. Because the Tower was never built to contain monsters. It was built to create them. Everyone knows the story of the Diaz family.
