Experiencing Interruptions?

The Starter

Three men spend their days in a dying gas station, on the side of a wrecked road, on the outskirts of a small town. The three men resist and wait. They spend their time in fortuitous, random or miraculous things, hoping that something will free them for this situation. One day, the opportunity they were waiting for appears, in a different way than they imagined. Now, they will have to find out if they're ready to take advantage of it.
