The film tells the story of a sixth grader Paul Graff in 1980 Queens, New York over the span of two months as he struggles to wake up from a deep sleep.

As members of his family attempt to awaken him, they prompt other awakenings which are punctuated by experiences James has himself experienced throughout his life.
