Wendy Johnson dreams of curing an illness that has plagued the women of her family for generations. Steven Stelth dreams of creating new forms of animal life through the means of science. In an Advanced Mathematics class at Boston University, the two meet and find their interests, goals and approach to life are very similar. Together they embark on a partnership filled with work and with love, following their dreams, and encourage and support others to follow their own. Nine years on, through a long process of advancing their experiments, they become successful in making one of the dreams a reality and turn towards accomplishing the other. But they are unaware that what they are doing has incurred the wrath of the spirit of Death, who comes to them in nightmares. He tells them that one day their work would eventually produce the secret to eternal life. This is something he cannot allow. He warns them to stop and threatens that if they continue, he will stop them himself. Steven and Wendy pass off his appearances as just ordinary nightmares and go on with their work. Their endeavours lead them to the night where they finally attempt to fulfil the other dream. But a vengeful Death arrives, seeking to make good on his word.
