Greg Wittle, feeling the weight of his mundane office job, receives a surprising call from his daughter, Emily. She invites him to her graduation, stirring conflicting emotions about their relationship and his life choices.

As Greg contemplates attending the celebration, he struggles with an injury that has left him dependent on painkillers. A sketch of a beautiful woman appears on his desk, providing a temporary distraction from the tension he feels toward his ex-wife.

Greg is unexpectedly summoned to his boss Bjorn's office, where he learns he has been terminated from his job. Though he maintains a calm demeanor, he is internally spiraling due to the shocking news.

In a moment of frustration, Greg lashes out at Bjorn, leading to a tragic accident where Bjorn falls fatally. Overcome by panic, Greg makes the hurried decision to conceal Bjorn's body, setting off a chain of events.

Seeking solace after the traumatic incident, Greg visits a nearby bar where he meets Isabel Clemens. As they connect, Greg senses a strange energy, and objects around them begin to react as if they are influenced by Isabel's mere presence.

Isabel reveals that she needs Greg to obtain a cherished amulet from her comatose ex-lover, presenting it as a simple task. This mission, however, becomes the gateway to unveiling deeper truths about their reality.

Once Greg acquires the amulet, Isabel discloses their world is not what it seems and that she has been crafting their reality for centuries. Greg begins to understand the flexibility of existence as they manipulate their surroundings.

Greg and Isabel indulge in yellow crystals, entering a euphoric state that blurs the lines of reality. They embark on an adventure rollerblading, fully embracing the bizarre nature of their manipulated reality.

Emily's search for Greg intensifies as she seeks help from Arthur and learns troubling details about her father's dependency on painkillers. Her growing desperation underscores the urgency of finding him.

As Greg becomes more deeply immersed in Isabel's world, he witnesses her troubling descent into a life reliant on prostitution. This revelation prompts Greg to confront the harsh realities of their existence.

Isabel and Greg face a critical turning point. After a heated argument over their choices, Isabel presents rare blue crystals that she claims can liberate them from their simulation, forcing Greg to grapple with the implications.

At a scientific gathering, Isabel captivates the audience with her research, stirring conflicting opinions among her peers. Greg finds himself supporting her, even as her work draws criticism and questions arise about its ethical implications.

Amidst the gathering, chaos erupts as angry protesters storm the venue. Greg, caught in the midst of unrest, experiences disorientation and feels a pull toward Emily's hologram as reality starts to blur.

As police close in and their escape plan falters, Greg urges Isabel to consider a drastic choice – to 'kill' him within the simulation to potentially secure her freedom. This moment is fraught with emotional weight for them both.

In the aftermath of their harrowing journey, Greg finds solace in a rehabilitation center, holding a photograph of Emily. Their poignant reunion signifies love's ability to heal, even when reality feels fractured.
