FULL SYNOPSIS
Steel worker Jason lives in a remote town in the midlands. Lately, he has been sporadically awaking at 03:47. Sleep deprived and now suffering from insomnia he begins to walk the lonely streets at night trying to pass the time until his early morning shift. Yet, on this night, he encounters an unnerving teenager who begins screaming at the top of his lungs for help.
Jason’s boss becomes frustrated and feels he is a liability. The unnerving teenager is starting to appear at Jason’s work. Again, Jason awakes at 03:47 and sees the teenager now stood floors below staring into his window. He tries to find the kid but he is gone.
The next day Jason, who is now a walking zombie, has an accident with a saw. His boss Graham sends him home. Instead of falling asleep, Jason lays in wait for 03:47 to come. He then goes out determined to confront this teenager once and for all.
He finds him. The teenager startles Jason and Jason becomes entranced and follows the teenager deep down into the woods, because it is here, that the teenagers skeletal remains lay dormant in a crashed 1960’s car.
The teenager vanishes once and for all. Now Jason can finally sleep…
