4: 22: A Time-Bending Thriller on Cannock Chase

By Lee Brickley

At 4:22 p.m., fourteen people disappear from Cannock Chase.

They don't go anywhere.

Everyone else does.

Amanda is twenty weeks pregnant when a busy Saturday afternoon suddenly empties around her. A bicycle lies spinning in the track. An abandoned pushchair waits where a family stood moments earlier. Phones will not connect. Roads refuse to lead where they should.

Then Amanda finds thirteen strangers caught in the same impossible break in reality.

There is food. There is shelter. There is no way home.

They make rules. Stay together. Keep records. Never go anywhere alone.

But the days keep coming.

Outside the Chase, police are hunting for fourteen people who vanished only hours ago.

Inside, autumn becomes winter. Amanda's baby keeps growing. And human figures appear in the distance, moving so slowly that a single step can take hours.

The outside world hasn't disappeared. It has become unreachable.

4:22 is a dark British supernatural thriller about survival, isolation and an impossible distortion of time.

Fourteen people are missing.

The terrifying part is that they are still there.
