Advertising executive Dale Hunter (Michael Muheny) works at the agency Arora. But after a car accident, his life changed abruptly. He has nightmares at night and by day he suffers from hallucinations. The world looks like from a computer. Numbers and names adhere to the objects. A doctor can not help him and the hallucinations are getting worse. Librarian Wendy seems to be the only person he can trust. Together they try to find out the truth.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Melbourne on a TV movie budget so tight the 'computer world' effects were literally drawn over 35mm prints by hand.
This bombed in Australia but became a 3am cable staple in the US, directly inspiring several low-budget Matrix knockoffs. John Noble took this role right before landing Lord of the Rings — imagine explaining THAT career trajectory.
