With the added help of an artificial sun, there is finally no end to morning daylight, living and work. But as a young generation grows up deprived of the world of sleep, is it time for them to rebel and reclaim their dreams?”

Noah Jupe will be playing the character of their son Danny who belongs to the generation that wants their dreams back.
Adam Ackland, one of the producers of the movie also shared his thoughts regarding this upcoming project with Deadline.
