Description:
George Orr possesses a unique ability: his dreams can change reality. Burdened by this unpredictable power, he uses drugs to try and shut it down. Dr. Haber, a psychiatrist, sees potential in Orr's gift and wants to use it to help people. Dr. Haber uses hypnosis to control Orr’s dreams, hoping to reshape reality for the better. But as they explore this, strange and frightening things happen, showing the risks of trying to control fate. As dreams and reality mix, George Orr must face a difficult question: can the power to shape the world ever be controlled, or will it lead to disaster? This film explores what is real, the idea of control, and the consequences of having great power.
