Greg Wittle is trapped in a monotonous routine where he spends his work hours daydreaming and sketching. This repetitive lifestyle serves as a backdrop to his increasingly troubled mental state.

Following a life-altering event, Greg is fired from his job, which marks a significant turning point in his life. This dismissal propels him into a series of vivid hallucinations that begin to blur the lines of his reality.

In his hallucinations, Greg fantasizes about taking drastic actions against his boss, Bjorn. These wild thoughts illustrate his frustrations and lead to an intense psychological struggle.

After his job loss, Greg seeks solace in a nearby bar where he meets Isabel, a mysterious homeless woman. Their conversation reveals that she possesses an uncanny understanding of Greg's situation and hints at a deeper connection to their world.

Isabel reveals her ability to manipulate their surroundings, suggesting that they have created this world together. She urges Greg to avoid the police and distance himself from his family to stay safe.

In a surprising twist, Isabel decides to sell Greg's personal belongings, deepening his entanglement in this alternate existence. This act represents her radical methods of coping with their unsettling reality.

Isabel introduces Greg to her strange talents, including lighting candles from a distance. She also entices him with crushed yellow crystals that purportedly enhance his artistic and telekinetic abilities.

As Greg embraces this hallucinated reality, he and Isabel plot to embarrass a local bully at a roller rink using their newfound powers. However, their plan spirals out of control, resulting in Greg's arrest.

Following his release from jail, Greg is confronted by his daughter, Emily, who is desperate to find him. This moment marks a critical intersection between his split realities, igniting his desire to reconnect with her.

After attempting to contact Emily, Greg faces Isabel's anger, as she believes Emily is merely an illusion. This conflict intensifies, leading Isabel to propose a dangerous escape plan using blue crystals.

In a surreal encounter, Isabel reveals to Greg that they are part of a collective simulation designed to explore alternate realities. This discovery challenges Greg's perception of reality and identity.

As their odd relationship progresses, Isabel urges Greg to help present their findings to the scientific community. This intention pulls Greg deeper into a web of ethical and philosophical dilemmas.

At a gala celebrating their Brain Box project, Greg experiences a poignant moment with a ghostly apparition of Emily. Her pleading voice compels him to reconsider his choices and the reality he wishes to inhabit.

As tensions rise within the simulation, only one escape crystal remains. Greg chooses to stay behind to face the consequences while urging Isabel to flee, cementing his commitment to returning to his daughter.

Greg finally reunites with Emily, rekindling their relationship amidst the surreal events that have unfolded. This moment represents his return to reality and serves as a poignant resolution to his harrowing journey.
