"SHOCKING...TERRIFYING" — Entertainment Weekly

In 1954, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet military promised four political prisoners their freedom—if they could endure an experiment designed to keep them awake for fourteen days using a powerful stimulant gas. As the days stretched on, their minds unraveled, descending into madness, self-mutilation, and murder.

None survived.

Now, in 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, a renowned psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is determined to recreate the experiment. With two student assistants, he monitors a group of young Australian test subjects in a soon-to-be-demolished campus building. They take turns watching over them in eight-hour shifts, believing they are in control.

But what starts as an academic study quickly spirals into a waking nightmare—one that no one, except perhaps Dr. Wallis himself, could have foreseen.
