Anne (Jen Kuhn) and Craig's (Justin Michael Terry) relationship hasn't been the happiest of late, so much so that they're not even sure anymore they want to remain together - but still, they have agreed to try out Dr. Peak's (Kevin Knight) highly experimental couples therapy - that gets them both on a conjoined dreamscape that is supposed to sort them out on a metaphysical level. Only the dreamscape's invaded, Dr. Peak is killed, and on the run from whatever killed him, Anne stumbles upon all kinds of characters that might have to do with her past and might know a way out - but end up killed as well. And the killer is ... Craig!

Thing is, this is a dream, and things are nowhere near as simple as that. And even more importantly, there might be some things that Anne has forgotten about herself that might be vital for the goings-on ...

Now ok, the premise of this movie, the invaded dreamscape, might not be super-innovative anymore but the mid-2020s - but writer/director Neal Tyler sure knows how to make the concept his own, starting it off in the expected sci-fi/horror territory but soon taking it into fields of psychology and creating quite an unexpected but pretty awesome and complex mystery around its simple premise. And a very atmosphere-heavy directorial effort that even gets moody pictures out of mere white rooms, and a solid cast, sure help to make this a pretty cool watch.
