Five insomniacs try to make it through the night.
From dusk to dawn, they struggle with a crisis in their lives which they must resolve by morning.
Increasingly conscious of their shortening futures and lengthening pasts, they fill their nights with distracting activities, desperate sleep techniques, evaluations of their lives, delusions, fears, panics and utter foolishness as they prepare to face the day.
