The premise
A college professor wakes up to find his wife has not returned home, then struggles to understand her disappearance.
Horror Vault's take
When a college professor wakes to discover his wife never came home, his attempts to piece together her whereabouts spiral into a waking nightmare of sleep deprivation and mounting paranoia. As investigators circle and the hours blur, the line between memory, dream, and reality begins to dissolve in deeply unsettling ways. Jeff Daniels anchors this slow-burn psychological descent with a performance that keeps viewers questioning everything they think they know.
