Professor Nathan Zangari is fading away. Once voted the sexiest professor on BBC2’s Open University, his highly celebrated archeo-linguistics paper on “Graffiti, Women and the Walls of Pompeii” is now but a distant memory. Now, he can’t sleep, he can’t get published, and... he can’t get laid.
At the sleep-study clinic that he’s enrolled at, they observe him talking in his sleep, seemingly an intermediary for a long-forgotten Pompeian girl. When overambitious student, Callie, offers to capture his mumblings, they both find themselves sucked into the very real lives of those on the edge of destruction, some 2000 years ago.
