Samuel is an ordinary but reserved teenager who suffers from frequent anxiety. He becomes increasingly dependent on the medication prescribed by his psychiatrist to deal with his troubles. As the doses increase, he finds himself plunged into increasingly violent visions, to the point of experiencing them in his real life. Samuel and those around him try to understand the source of these problems.

La storia di Samuel, un adolescente ordinario ma riservato che soffre di frequenti crisi d'ansia. Diventa sempre più dipendente dai farmaci prescritti dal suo psichiatra per affrontare i suoi problemi. Man mano che le dosi aumentano, si ritrova immerso in visioni sempre più violente, fino a sperimentarle nella vita reale. Samuel e coloro che lo circondano cercano di capire l'origine di questi problemi.
