Dennis is a 30-year-old man with a disability who has had nightmares all his life, dating back to childhood. One recurring dream centers on a carnival ride that seems ordinary, until he is told that
the ride isn’t over.
As an adult, he experiences another nightmare in which a living demon, called the Cadaver, fastens a zipper onto his back and seems to invade his body. He discovers a hidden room in the cellar containing a mirror that he believes is connected to the Cadaver’s origin. He begins speaking to his reflection, and the reflection seems to reply back.
