With the end of the world nearing, what would you do if you were offered the chance of an escape?<br /><br />Richard York is exhausted. His insomnia is causing him to nod off at work, and he's close to getting fired if he keeps failing at his job. He just needs some relief and is willing to do anything to get some rest. Samantha, a struggling actress, is suffering from the same affliction, so when the two of them collide, literally, in a car accident, it seems like fate has stepped in to bring them together. Both of their lives are going off track, and to add to their misery, news reports are coming in about an impending asteroid collision with Earth. <br /><br />In a chance encounter at a local bookstore, Richard meets Dr. Edward Lytton, a professor at the University of Toronto. He tells Richard about his research into the field of sleep deprivation. Ed is a scientist who has secretly been experimenting on animals in his basement, finding ways to access interdimensional travel. He has been searching for human participants in his next scientific trial, and thinks he has found a perfect candidate in Richard. <br /><br />With the countdown to the asteroid strike ticking ever closer, Ed offers both Richard and Samantha an escape from impending doom. Will they accept the bizarre invitation from Ed, and if so, where will they end up?
