- Dan Podolski is a construction worker tormented by recurring nightmares presaging the death of his fiancee, Sophia, in an unknown accident. Slipping into madness, he races to decipher the terrifying premonitions before it's too late.
- Dan Podolski, a construction worker starting up at a new site, has been tormented for weeks by unnerving, nightmarish dream visions of his fiancee, Sophia Gordon, perishing in an unknown, inexplicable event. In the freakish dreams, Sophia appears to be trapped within a bizarre, void-like hallway, facing impending doom from a cause that he is unable to determine. Eventually realizing that he is glimpsing premonitions of some sort, Dan feels himself gradually slipping into madness from the unresolved enigma and from his sheer exhaustion at being unable to sleep through the night. To make matters worse, Sophia herself has become keenly aware of Dan's recurring nightmares. Nevertheless, fearing the impact of disclosing a prophecy of doom whose meaning he cannot pin down, let alone resolve, Dan finds himself unable to tell her even an inkling of what he is foreseeing, which has begun to tear at their relationship. At his new construction work site, an increasingly sleep-deprived Dan slips into and out of consciousness as his dream visions begin to invade his waking mind. He attempts to hide his mounting anguish but to no avail, as the concerns of his team and foreman mount. Meanwhile, Sophia herself is growing more alarmed at Dan's deteriorating health and mental state. Dan eyes her while sleeping, despondent at the forebodings which he feels powerless to forestall. Dan injures himself at work, then finds himself slipping into frank madness upon his return home, hallucinating a conversation with Sophia as he washes up for bed. Near the end of his rope and desperate for an answer, Dan attends a regular safety seminar at his work site, warning of the hazards of temperature-based stresses on the structural integrity of the metal rails the construction team will eventually be building at the location. As the slides advance, an epiphany finally washes over him as he realizes the origin of his premonitions. At a previous work site on a newly funded elevated train, Dan had faintly noticed the rivets and bolts on the train's tracks coming loose, prompted by an email from Sophia about the wild swings in the recent weather. The tracks had been built for a rail line opening for its first official day of service, which Sophia would be taking to start her new job. Dan's mind had subconsciously assembled the pieces of the puzzle to recognize that she was in imminent danger, but until that day, he had been unable to consciously put the picture together. His dream visions were warnings of Sophia and other passengers dying from a collapse on the track for the elevated train. He dashes off in a frantic rush to stop the train from disembarking, arriving just as the conductor activates the train to begin its procession on the tracks. Dan pounds frantically on a window to get the attention of the conductor, who notices Dan just as movement has commenced toward the faulty section on the rail. Still in his construction work clothes and noticing Sophia in one of the cabins, Dan makes a hand signal to indicate the rail breach, which the conductor recognizes and immediately halts the train's progression. However, it is too late to stop the train from reaching the doomed section of the track, and it careens forward and to the side before falling just short of plunging off the broken end of the rail. Sophia and the other passengers in the two cabins are lurched to and fro, suffering varying levels of injury in the process. Dan and a number of Good Samaritans at the station pry open the cabin doors to retrieve the passengers and conductor, tending to their wounds on the nearby platform. Sophia had been standing in the first cabin and was injured more seriously, knocked unconscious upon falling as the train collapsed into the breach. Dan begins to mourn as he brushes the side of her head, fearing that she has suffered a mortal wound, as the other passengers are carefully assisted on the platform. However, just as Dan is about to lose hope, Sophia inhales deeply and wakes from her concussion, still dazed but alive. Dan embraces her while she lies supine on the floor, as emergency medical personnel begin to arrive to offer medical assistance.
