Spoilers ahead
Rocky Foscoe is a Chicago barber whose routine life is disrupted after a late-night drive along Old Orchard Road. While parked, he experiences a nightmare in which his car appears to hover in mid-air, a vision that unsettles him and prompts a visit to a doctor for an explanation.
When he tries to return to work, anxiety grips him and he has a full-blown attack, forcing him to flee the shop and leaving his mistress worried about his behavior. Driven to make sense of what happened, he heads back to the road, where an enigmatic old man offers help and mentions that strange things have been happening on that stretch—even hearing screams from the sky, hinting that Rocky’s car may have truly floated.
