A year into marriage, Jack Culligan's ambition of assuming a paternal role to his two stepsons, introverted Chris and rebellious Ricky, is proving nothing more than a pipe dream. His wife, Betty, has all but given up on her husband when Jack, in an act of desperation, moves the family out of Baltimore to his nearby hometown of Creighton. That summer, a city street becomes the stage for a gruesome suicide. Nine months later, two of the witnesses, Jack and Chris, find themselves experiencing nightmares so realistic they fear not only for their sanity, but for their lives. The shared dilemma draws the boy and his stepdad together in an effort to stop the tidal wave of "Dreality" from washing away their dream of becoming a family.
