One night, Ari, a psychiatrist specializing in sleep disorders, falls asleep in his bed and wakes up a few hours later in a bar, having no recollection of how he got there. Now he has to deal with his repressed traumatic past whilst an investigation is being conducted into a series of murders, all mysteriously connected to him. In order to find answers, Ari must go back to the Kabbalah center which was once managed by ‘The Wordmaker,’ and nowadays by his father and the Wordmaker’s daughter.
Complex family dynamics come to light when Dr. Ari Milus, a family man and a professor of sleep disorders, wakes up one night at a bar, with no memory of how he got there. He goes back to his old neighborhood in Jerusalem to consult with the doctor who treated his childhood parasomnia, but in the morning the doctor is found dead, and Dr. Milus is the prime suspect. A series of murders forces him to confront his troubled past within a religious sect, led by a charismatic and revered figure named “The Wordmaker” – a man who disappeared and whose actions led to the death of Dr. Milus’s mother.
