Two detectives begin an investigation on the ethics involved in the top-secret research facility. One experiment, in particular, stands out to them as the most horrific, The Sleep Experiment, a scientific experiment that took place during the Cold War.

As their investigation deepens, their focus turns to Christopher Sampson, one of the researchers who worked on the experiment, who initially seems genuine in his endeavours.

The experiment consisted of five prisoners, deemed Enemies of the State, locked in a sealed gas chamber. An airborne stimulant was continually administered to keep the subjects awake for 30 consecutive days. The prisoners were falsely promised they would be freed from prison if they completed the experiment.
