A dark, paranoia-soaked body-horror film about scientists experimenting on themselves with increasingly nightmarish consequences.

It's 1986 and a group of grad students are close to discovering what happens to the human brain after staying awake for 200 hours, but something goes terribly wrong with a test subject. After their department is shut down, the team moves forward in secret - only this time on themselves.
