Awake: Episode One

In a dim and cluttered terrace house we find HARRY WHITBREAD; a broken man, bound to a wheelchair, and re-living a happier life vicariously through his vivid dreams. In those dreams Harry still has use of his legs and his beloved wife, ROSE, is still alive.

But when a strange force enters his dream-state delivering cryptic messages connected to his past, Harry is pointed towards a mysterious ARTEFACT that holds the power to transform his world forever.

Harry must now struggle to reconcile the choices he made in the past in order to escape his present existence, all the while shadowy forces are closing in, determined to use him and the power of the artefact for their own ends.
