PlotA teenage runaway, struggling with nightmares and insomnia, seeks refuge in a scientific study that promises to solve her sleep problems. Desperate for a way to escape her haunting night terrors, she sees this study as her only way out. The study, which begins as a seemingly innocuous attempt to understand the dreams of the participants, quickly leads her into a more profound and unsettling scientific experiment. Her initial relief at finding a potential cure for her troubles is soon replaced by unease as the nature of the research becomes clearer. The researchers, under the guise of helping, monitor the participants' sleep closely, scrutinizing their dreams with intense interest.
As the experiment progresses, the line between dreams and reality starts to blur for the protagonist. Her nightmares become increasingly vivid, revealing more about her subconscious mind than she ever wished to confront. Unbeknownst to her, the scientists behind the study have their own hidden agenda, pushing the boundaries of what is ethically acceptable in their quest for knowledge. The teenager finds herself caught in a terrifying situation, far from the salvation she initially sought, entangled in a sinister plot that challenges the very nature of her reality and psyche. Her struggle to distinguish between the fabrications of her mind and the real world becomes the focal point of her terrifying journey, leaving her to question everything she once believed to be true.
