Awaken

Dr. Otto, a psychologist, is consumed by his research on multi-layered dreaming and the perception of reality. Late one night, strange events begin to unfold: time freezes at 11:58 p.m., his coffee vanishes, voice mails play on repeat, and reflections in the mirror no longer match his actions. As the layers of his reality crumble, Otto is haunted by the presence of his old mentor, Dr. Pi Pirrip. Faced with shifting spaces, distorted memories, and surveillance from unseen eyes, Otto tries to resist the pull of unconsciousness. But when he discovers his name among others marked "LOOPED," he realizes the truth: the dream is real, and there may be no waking up.
