Lu Wenzhou owes 180,000 yuan and works the night shift repairing equipment to pay it off. Other people report leaks and power outages, but the jobs he gets grow stranger by the day: a building with no basement level, yet someone is trapped in its elevator; a movie theater whose last show ended long ago, but whose film is always one second short. An old toolbox left by his father lets him enter other people's dreams. Fix a dream and he'll earn a fee, but he'll also take away a painful memory from its dreamer. His savings grow, but soon he starts hearing other people's calls for help in his ear. Then one day, in a stranger's dream, he sees the father who vanished nine years ago. His father is bent over, repairing a severed wire. He looks up and says just one thing: "Don't take this job."
