When a disillusioned young man meets a stranger in his dreams, he discovers that the world behind sleep is real - and dangerous. A man who lives in self-dejection and daydreams of the grandeur of being a successful writer, Bartholomew struggles with self-acceptance and all the pangs of existence. One night, his consciousness descends into the dreamworld, allowing him to experience his dreams as one would in reality. But when Inoue, a fellow Dreamshaper, explains his latent abilities, he finds out about the wildness the unconscious world holds and its mental and metaphysical effects. Inoue spontaneously decides to mentor him, introducing him to Mind Eaters - beings born from the amalgamation of repressed trauma, encompassing stress and griping depression - and the community that exists for their kind. During this, their relationship blooms, and they develop romantic feelings for one another. With his newfound powers and friends, Bartholomew slowly finds the strength and drive to come out of his shell and progress his writing journey - but this is derailed when he encounters a Dreamshaper who uses his abilities to cause harm, as well as old acquaintances that were splinters of pain he hadn't been able to remove. Bartholomew must prevail over cynicism and be bold enough to face his inner monsters before they consume him.
