Girl is a specialized call girl, who only sleeps by men who cannot sleep alone. Ironically, Girl herself begins to suffer from insomnia and strange dreams. She confronts a troubled, and also sleepless neighbor, Cat, who has mysterious implications to Girl’s dreams. Tormented by recurring visions and failed friendship to Cat, Girl disappears. When Cat visits Girl’s room, she finds a mirror she once threw away, only to meet herself reflected upon it.
