A low-level medication runner known as Cruz locates himself exiled from sun-drenched Miami to frigid Chicago. He slots up in a decrepit rooming-house, the Kenilworth Forearms, in the deceased of winter. There he matches Jonathan, a yuppie struggling to get over a failed relationship, and Jamaica, a prostitute on the payroll of the medication kingpin Bauhaus. When Cruz and Jamaica are pressured to drop two kilos of cocaine down a air flow shaft in the rooming-house to escape a police raid, strange things begin to occur.... David J. Schow's The Shaft features a unique mingling of supernatural horror with the real dangers involved with drug-running, setting up a uniquely convincing atmosphere. Amid the inexplicable terrors of any building that seems weirdly animate and of some loathsome monstrosity lurking in underneath of the air flow shaft, the quest for Cruz, Jonathan, and Jamaica by Bauhaus and his minions seems by turns insignificant and chillingly immediate.
