20-something Helen works as a catsitter, feeding cats while their owners are away. When one day she cannot seem to find a mysterious client's cat in her apartment, yet the bowl of cat food is empty every morning, she becomes curious. Waiting for the cat to appear, she falls asleep. When she wakes up, what she sees blurs the fine line between reality and dreams.
