A paranoid psychological thriller that uses the surreal logic of dreams and sleep to explore sinister deception at a clinic promising wish fulfillment.

Gemma moves to LA, hoping to become an actress. She takes an overnight gig at a sleep clinic that promises to make their clients’ dreams come true. But the longer she spends there, the more it becomes clear that something sinister is going on.
