And at the hospital, a new life grows within a college girl, unbeknownst to her-even as she sleeps. A father succumbs to the illness, leaving his daughters to fend for themselves. Two visiting professors try to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Mei, an outsider in the cliquish hierarchy of dorm life, finds herself thrust together with an eccentric, idealistic classmate. As the number of cases multiplies, classes are canceled, and stores begin to run out of supplies. Then a second girl falls asleep, and then another, and panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. Neither can the paramedics who carry her away, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. In an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a freshman girl stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep-and doesn’t wake up.
