A dark psychological thriller that blurs the boundary between nightmare and reality, using sleep paralysis and dream logic to generate sustained dread and existential uncertainty.

A psychology professor begins a case study with three subjects who are suffering from sleep paralysis. As the study goes on, what is real and what is dream become mingled with violent consequences.
