Some people are slaves to the clock. They have no other life apart from their work. Sometimes they awake to find themselves still laboring in their sleep. That is the premise of this sci-fi bizarro tale about a town in which two residents become aware they are nightly shuttled to the bottom of their world to sleepwork for a mysterious corporation that literally runs things. Their lives are the stuff of daydreams and nightmares, of continuous toil, and nothing seems to make sense.
