An American journalist is found seemingly dead in Prague, but his mind remains conscious as his body lies paralyzed in a morgue. As he mentally retraces his steps, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving a missing woman and a secretive, powerful society. Time runs out as he silently pieces together the truth behind the nightmare closing in around him.
