A sleep-deprived office worker stumbles upon a sleep-aid video that works miraculously well. After recommending it to a friend, the friend begins to act strangely—and soon suffers a violent accident before vanishing without a trace. When the missing man’s cousin shows up seeking help, they uncover a disturbing truth: the video changes on its own, and the nightmares within are slowly bleeding into reality. To stop the terror from spreading, the two must venture deep into this twisted digital trap and uncover the horror lurking behind the screen.
