The trailer opens with Greg in his office, working on an intricate drawing, which he says is, ‘a picture in my head of a place’ though he ‘doesn’t know if it’s real.

The pencil drawings then transform to real life, with Greg enjoying a meal with Isabel, before he meets her, adding the ‘feeling is real.’

He’s jarred back to reality by a phone call from his daughter Emily (Nesta Cooper), who wants to know if he’ll be there for her graduation.

Greg is then told by a co-worker that, ‘the big boss wants to see you,’ which seemingly leads to his termination.

He rushes into a sparsely-populated bar and orders a neat whiskey, when he hears Isabel say, ‘You’re real.’

She then proceeds to show him ‘something really cool’  as she flicks her hand and makes a tray of dishes fly out of a young man’s grasp.

Isabel tells Greg that all of these people ‘are not real’ and this whole world is a simulation as she takes him into the ‘real world,’ known as Bliss.

She shows him around this immaculate world which Greg tells Isabel, ‘is overwhelming.’

A demonstration reveals that Isabel pioneered, ‘brain box simulations,’ which is described as, ‘an ugly, simulated world to generate appreciation for the real world.’

He asks Isabel why he doesn’t remember any of this, and she tells him, ‘Don’t worry about it,’ as one event from both worlds mirrors each other.

Isabel tells him that ‘ignorance is bliss but I say you have to experience the good to appreciate the bad.’

Greg also runs into Bill Nye, who tells him that he’s heard there were ‘problems’ with some of Isabel’s research, while back in the ‘real world’ Greg runs into his daughter, telling her it’s been a crazy few days… though she says she graduated two weeks ago.
