Samantha has sleep paralysis. To avoid the feeling of overwhelming anxiety and fear it’s easier to just stay awake. This ruins relationships. She’s always tired, says no to plans constantly. She’s afraid of, well… being afraid.

The film follows Samantha's relationship with her sleep paralysis ‘demon’, her single mother, her friends, a love interest and her coping mechanisms. What makes life beautiful is the energy (that a good night’s rest offers) to enjoy it and find the experiences and people that make it beautiful. Samantha has that fight in her.
