The story

Inquiring into the mysterious death of a Hollywood star, insurance investigator Jeff Keenan uncovers an exclusive psychiatric clinic on the French Riviera. Here, patients who want to escape the stresses of life are hypnotized, then laid out in morgue-like drawers and left to dream for several weeks. It turns out that Zakon, the clinic's owner, is using a "dream machine" to alter the sleepers' dreams, and to impose his will on theirs.
