Working-class husband and father Curtis, (Michael Shannon) questions whether his terrifying dreams of an apocalyptic storm is a warning of something real to come or the onset of an inherited mental illness he's feared his whole life. Faced with the proposition that his disturbing visions signal disaster of one kind or another, Curtis confides in Samantha (Jessica Chastain), testing the power of their bond against the highest possible stakes.
