Official synopsis Publisher
Janzen Hakkinen is ready to end his life.
At 29, sobriety, a job and medication have done little to divert him from this decision. And there is one building in Baltimore that has become a monument for those willing to scale its eleven stories to finally meet the concrete below.
The Psychopomps tells the story of the men and women whose free falls are stolen from them by the reclusive owner of the supposedly abandoned building. While his intentions are unclear, the collected group navigates their days combating their past, fearing the present violence of a maniac and weighing the ultimate choice of how their stay together will end. There is one way in and one way out — and it’s not through the front doors.
