Katrine leads a normal life, with a normal job and a normal relationship. But one day she awakes to find the world around her has changed. Or rather, its the same but she is seeing it with different eyes, noticing things she never saw before. Her reality starts to crumble. She becomes aware of small discontinuities in time and space, abruptly she is whipped from one place to another. Then she takes a closer look at the everyday objects around her, things she has seen and touched many times before are now flat, falling apart, fake.
