Plot: It's a normal day for young Sonja, half asleep at a bus stop on her way to work, little does she know but her life as she knows it is over, in fact her life as she 'knows it' has been over for some time. From the moment she wakes up, things in Sonja's life become continuously inexplicable, chance encounters with strangers leaving her confused and perturbed, as do similar moments with the man she knows as 'Dad'. Along with the building trauma of her waking life Sonja also begins to suffer horrific nightmares; each one a familiar baron landscape filled with recurring flashes of harsh light and the presence of someone chasing her, they carry the blurry, warped sense of fear and trepidation synonymous only with dreams, leaving her feeling confused, isolated and scared. Upon waking from the final installment of these nightmares, Sonja finds herself in a bar with friends, at the end of another 'normal' social occasion that just somehow doesn't feel right, things come to a head, Sonja's dreams infiltrate reality as a man that's been one of the key recurring figures in her nightmares appears, this culminates in the last scraps of Sonja's sanity falling apart, even her friends now seem complicit in the conspiracy bringing her confusion and fear to a new extreme. Eventually Sonja somehow finds herself in hospital, again seemingly being the only one outside the loop, then whilst being wheeled down the corridor a flash of her reflection in the window reveals the stunning and terrifying truth.
