Based on the viral creepypasta story, “The Russian Sleep Experiment” which sparked book adaptations and controversy around whether it is actually inspired by true events.
In the late 1940’s, Russian researchers kept four test patients awake for 30 days using an experimental gas-based stimulant. Cut off from the world, the researchers conduct a series of tests on the subjects. What starts as a purely scientific study, quickly spirals out of control and the subjects take matters into their own hands and test the concept of truth as a matter of life and death.
