'Nightmares are devils' is the motto of an odd hotel below ground that opens after sunset and closes at dawn. Hired at the desk for her 'sleep-inducing face', Kiri works hard to give each guest good dreams. At home she has stepped in for her twin Sai, who is in a rehabilitation clinic, caring for Sai's schoolgirl daughter alongside Sai's husband, once Kiri's lover. The new job begins to shift things among the three, just as Sai is due home.
