Remainder

A man is severely injured in a mysterious accident, receives an outrageous sum in legal compensation, and has no idea what to do with it. Then, one night, an ordinary sight sets off a series of bizarre visions he can’t quite place.

Remainder is about the secret world each of us harbors within, and what might happen if we were granted the power to make it real.
