Three young men experience what happens when reality starts to die away. How to trust anything you ever believed in when you see reality fading in front of you. Wout, Frank and Paul are, for unclear reasons, trapped in a sunken road. No matter how hard they try to escape, they always return to the same place. One of them is wounded. The second one tries to heal him. So who is the third one? The story then shifts from a typical Whodunnit to a verbal search for a grip on the reallity.
