An unsettling dream disrupts the morning of a young couple. Based on the Stephen King story of the same name.

Driven by a desire to live forever through cinema, aspiring filmmaker Nathaniel Heaton sets out to fuse his life into the narrative of a movie in this film-within-a-film. Both a dreamer and a romantic, Heaton escapes his estranged relationships, professional failures, and concerns of mortality by retreating more and more into the world of the movie that exists in his imagination... a world where gangsters close in and a struggling old nightclub prepares for what may be its final show.

Two warring groups of criminals meet to exchange hostages, each side unaware that the other harbors a deadly secret in this proof-of-concept short action film starring Zoë Bell. On one end, KYLE wants his brother back. On the other, DAVID wants to free his girlfriend. And ANNA (Zoë Bell), fueled by a history of bad blood, just wants revenge. As the standoff unfolds, everything goes south for everyone.
