The insomnia cafe offers beverages and snacks to its customers, as well as open hotlines to peoples' late night thoughts. The truly original and seemingly brilliant idea goes awry when Leo, a local teenager working at the cafe, gets assigned to hotline duty and receives a call from his childhood bestfriend. Everynight, five days a week he opens the line, learning more and more about someone who he never thought he would talk to again. "What's your name?" "Well the company demands we use a false name, sort of like an alter ego. For safety precautions." "So what name did you pick?" "I was thinking of something cool; like Spock," he didn't need to ask in return, but for the sake of keeping up the illusion that he was a stranger; he replied. "What yours?" He knew their name. "Just call me... Cookies."
