Studious university John is in trouble: His stress at school is causing him to develop insomnia, and he's so deep into his own world that he can't make any friends at school. On the other hand, his roommate Neil is friendly, socially popular, and can get any girl he wants – including the girl John likes. However, the more Neil acts like himself, the more he finds people telling him how much he's changed. This mind-bending drama explores the nature of identity, self-image, and what shapes us into who we are.
