The protagonist of the film is plagued by an irrational fear of death. Johnson’s nights are defined by horrible dreams consuming them. His days are filled with what the doctors call death anxiety. Even in the face of the suggestions of his mothers, friends, and well-wishers, Johnson refuses to do that one thing that might help him get over his fear - spend a night sleeping in a coffin. One night, however, he finds himself locked up in a close space that is filled with…coffins!

Will he finally succumb to the suggestion or will his fear best him? The short film paints an interesting world employing its storytelling and protagonist. It is marked by the ambiance of a dark comedy, as well as drama, with unexpected moments of tension and stress, keeping the viewer engaged throughout.
