A young couple moves into an apartment and finds a lost civilization inside their antique freezer.

Plot[]

Gail and Rob move into the apartment finding an antique refrigerator. Opening it to get ice, they find a tiny preserved mammoth, and returning to the freezer they find a fast-moving time-dilated civilization developing. Within ten minutes, the civilization goes from Medieval era to Industrial Revolution then modern day, but some minutes later they see the civilization use tactical nuclear warfare, which burns Rob's face. Finding the fridge civilization escalating their warfare, they close the freezer and order pizza. After an hour, and afraid they did not make it, they open the freezer and find the civilization has rebuilt, and has moved further into its future with technology evolving at an unprecedented level. They ultimately evolve into a race of energy beings, return to a singularity, and vanish from the freezer. Believing the mini-people are gone, Rob unplugs the refrigerator to clean it in the morning. As they have breakfast, they find the freezer now has a prehistoric world, with primitive sapiens under attack by dinosaurs.
