While We Were Sleeping

After decades of celebrating selfishness, the world hasn’t prepared for the slow descent into a hellish nightmare that waits one minute into the future. No one can save themselves alone. Dánica Pastore lives alone in a South American city, living alone for the first time, proud of her new independence. She chooses to ignore how frail that illusion of security might be, struggling to maintain a quiet life away from anxieties while delegating the trivial problems of daily life to others. On an unusually warm night of winter, she went to sleep in her secure world of measured risks, but then she awoke in a slow-unveiling nightmare: a new and merciless disease has taken humanity by surprise. Without apparent reason, people fall unconscious randomly for long periods of time. Over time, the sleep cycles become increasingly prolonged. The new narcolepsy pandemic prevents anyone from staying awake long enough to find a cure or to help others. Soon the unthinkable becomes a clear reality. The end of humanity approaches.
