After a breakup, Jeb decides to return to his hometown. Hoping to forget his troubling thoughts, he seeks solace among family and friends. But every night he is tormented by nightmares. The more he tries to fight them, the worse his dreams become. But the most terrible horror awaits him not in his dreams, but in reality — when dreams become real.
