Where dreams end and nightmares begin.

Laura Baxter is a young woman, literally a "sleeping beauty," who suffers from a medical condition called "parasomnia."

Art student Danny Sloan falls in love with her, unaware that her hospital neighbor, a terrifying mass murderer and mesmerist named Byron Volpe has other, more sinister plans.
