Seven insomniacs desperate for a cure volunteer for an experimental procedure—but when the lab equipment catastrophically malfunctions, they're trapped in a nightmarish dreamworld where their darkest fears have become horrifyingly real. Hunted by monsters born from their own imaginations and haunted by secrets they've buried deep, these strangers must learn to trust each other if they have any hope of escaping before they're trapped in the nightmare forever. This is A Nightmare on Elm Street meets Inception—a propulsive, spine-tingling thriller that expertly weaves together psychological horror with genuine human connection, proving that sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones we create ourselves.
Reading soundtrack
