The story

Trevor Reznik is a machinist whose insomnia has led to him becoming emaciated and a loner.

He is haunted by flashes of recurring imagery, and things such as his car cigarette lighter take on a menacing air.

Meeting her at an amusement park, he goes with her son Nicholas on a dark ride.
