Story

Two young lovers (Ray and Suzie) are split apart by the revelation of Suzie's one night stand with Ray's best friend, and fellow storm chaser, Stanley.

Before Ray and Suzie can resolve their issues, Ray is called away to chase the biggest tornado producing storm to hit Texas in a century along with Stanley. As they race towards the storm, arguing and fighting with each other, they come across a mysterious woman named Ruby, who changes the course of their destiny.


  • Review: A dark, twisted tale of love, deceit, and meteorology. My rating, 4.5 out of 5. The dialog is well-written and gripping, the characters are interesting and engaging, and the situation is outrageous. The cinematography could be better, but nonetheless, a very good short film.
