THE STORY Awake follows Logan Brandt, a coding genius whose work on the VR game Dark Frontier catches the eye of tech entrepreneur Jack Mammon. Propelled by a personal mission to help his sister Dalia, Logan enters a high-stakes project developing thought-controlled prosthetics. But as he dives deeper, past traumas resurface, spiraling him into a dangerous obsession with a dream simulator that controls thoughts and nightmares. As the line between simulation and reality blurs for Logan, the film’s unique production mirrors his descent.
