A machine operator named Trevor Reznik loses the ability to sleep. But this is no ordinary insomnia syndrome. His physical health and mental balance begin to deteriorate due to extreme fatigue and lack of sleep. His employees start to get scared of him at first because of his strange appearance, but when one of the men loses his arm as a result of an accident involving him in the shop, he takes the men against him. They blame Trevor for the accident. Now he has become an obstacle for both himself and the others, and all the men want is for Trevor to leave. Trevor's guilt gradually turns into suspicion and paranoia as he realizes that employees are plotting to have him fired, and should he expect the worse? First, he finds hidden notes in his house. Are all these mysteries part of a plot to drive Trevor crazy? Or is it all because of excessive sleeplessness and fatigue? Trevor's life begins to turn into a sleepless nightmare, as he begins to investigate the strange events that have taken place in order to understand what is happening. The more he learns, the less he actually prefers to know.
