A troubled insomniac in 1890s England falls into a sleep-like trance, from which he does not awake for over two hundred years. When he comes out of his trance he is horrified to discover a hierarchal society in which more than a third of all people are enslaved. Oppressed and uneducated, the masses cling desperately to one dream - that the sleeper will awake, and lead them all to freedom.
