A man wakes up on a train and is confronted by a copy of himself who urges him to rid himself of his sins.

The balance between light and darkness is put to the test. In the aftermath of a war in the Middle East, an innocent Water Carrier falls victim to the violence, her tragic death sending ripples through time. Nima, an ex-soldier now living in Amsterdam, is tormented by guilt and fragmented memories. To find redemption, he must confront his past with the help of a mysterious Dream Machine-while Ahriman, the evil spirit of chaos, tempts Nima through his minion Linda, luring him into darkness. Centuries earlier, King Cyrus the Great battles Ahriman, setting into motion events that will resonate with Nima's journey across time. Their destinies are woven together, and only by facing their deepest fears can they restore the light.

The possession of a soul by an evil entity causes an imbalance in the timeline that only a celestial being can rectify.
