Plot Summary

With humankind unable to sleep and think clearly, growing increasingly irrational and violent after an unprecedented global phenomenon that wiped out all electronics, Jill, a former U.S. Army medic and widowed mother-of-two, finds herself struggling to keep her kids safe. Now, as scientists all over the world seem to fight a losing battle, the mysterious, worldwide plague of insomnia threatens to eradicate the entire human species, and undoubtedly, this is the end of the world as we know it. However, what if Jill's ten-year-old daughter, Matilda, holds the key to a cure? Can sleep-deprived Jill protect her children when everyone has only a few days to live? Written by Nick Riganas

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia In the library, one sees a small white sticker with a red maple leaf, on the spines of some books. These stickers indicate that the books are written by Canadian authors. This was filmed in a branch of the Toronto Public Library. See more »
Goofs The incident causes numerous accidents and hospital admissions surge, yet it takes a young girl to catch on that the 'cure' is very short term cardiac arrest and resuscitation. This wouldn't have gone unnoticed in hospitals or elder care homes. See more »

Quotes Jill: Fixing this car is going to be so hard. Oh, man. Okay. But there are books on that, okay? You hear?
Dodge: [Smiles] Burn the books, man. Burn 'em all. Don't need those anymore.
Jill: [Matilda looks behind her] Ah, eyes! Can you maybe just not- Focus on the road, please. Not talk to her so she can concentrate, please.
Dodge: [Looks to Noah] Enough people said that the Earth was flat, so the Earth was flat. Then, they said the Earth was round... so the Earth was round.
Noah: The Earth is round.
Dodge: Prove it.
Noah: Science proves it.
Dodge: [laughs] Science? And who understands the science, huh?
Jill: [Matilda looks back at Dodge] Eyes on the road, please. Always.
Dodge: Enough people talk about something, right? Then they put it in the books, and then the book becomes fact. Then it's settled. Then no one understands it anymore, no one even talks about it anymore. Fuck, this is why we gotta burn the books man.
Matilda: [Gripping the steering wheel] He said the F-word.
Jill: I know. Please shut up.
[Dodge whispers an apology]
Jill: She's a kid.
Dodge: Okay.
[pause]
Dodge: You know, my grandmama, you know what she used to tell me? That all the world's problems could disappear in one generation if every kid grew up forgetting all the shit they were taught, the shit that doesn't make sense, but you're taught it enough times you believe it. Then we could actually live in a world where no one is starving... and everyone's equal.
