But enthralled by an extraordinary Deliriant (Jackson Yee) who still enjoys reveries, the Fantasmer Shu explores his riveting dreams in an effort to wake him. Empathically, Miss Shu (Shu Qi), also an Other One as the Deliriants are known, will thereby facilitate this specific representative’s death, liberating him from an eternal time zone. For she maintains the ability through his rare gift to access surreal realms.
