A peculiar university student, Maurice is a grim and sarcastic man who is inexplicably disconcerted after attending his late best friend’s funeral. Then on that night he has a horrific nightmare, and the next day he even begins seeing things that aren’t there. Meanwhile the ambiguous motif of two identical, alternately ticking clocks haunts him wherever he goes, and in the final night he has another nightmare that seems to take him to another world--a world by which he never escapes from.
