He should be a happy man: he lives with his lovely wife Jenny (Zora Holt) and their two children in a dream house which he himself designed. Yet he senses a terrifying truth lying hidden behind his perfect life. Strangers claiming to know him speak to him on the street. Hallucinations haunt him even at home. Reality and phantasm threaten Faber's family. Is the affair with his beautiful assistant Iris (Lauren Talbot) the clue? Faber has but one night to find a way out. It will be a decision between life and death.
