Gourd, a small town coffee shop owner, plans a holiday to get away from the monotonous life. Seeking peace of mind, he travels away from the town to his parents' farmhouse, abandoned many years back. He runs into Jimmy, an old family servant, who helps him settle for the night. Drained by the travel, Gourd sleeps with hopes of a refreshing morning.
He wakes up in the middle of the night and witnesses a bizarre occurrence, resulting in a brutal death of Jimmy. Before he could get help, he wakes up, AGAIN! only to find everything normal this time, except one. Haunted by the unusual incident, he investigates. While visiting Jimmy's home, Gourd meets his wife. She explains how Jimmy died nine years back.
If Jimmy died nine years back, who helped Gourd settle for the night? What can justify sleeping once but waking up twice? Is it a onetime experience?
