Solum

Caleb is just an ordinary high school senior at first glance. He has a knack for noticing the small details in the world around him. But on one cold December morning, he takes his last SAT to improve his score to get into his dream school Princeton. At first, everything is going smoothly for Caleb, but he then comes to a question that gives him a weird feeling. The world around us starts to get more and more distorted and chaotic. As his stress levels and anxiety rise Caleb falls under pressure and makes an irrational decision to quit the test and walk out of the room as the trial continues. The whole story is recounted through the eyes of a now inciteful Caleb as he relived the perplexing and painful experience of that cold December day two weeks ago.
