He happens to disturb a demonic shaman, which results in outlandish beings which start moving into our world, and strange voices are heard on his telephone line. A phone repairman comes to help with the faulty lines, but the old man is not what he seems; he's a phone-wizard and knows more than the average man about dreams, nightmares and the creatures that inhabit the other world with no shapes. At nightfall the situation spirals out of control and becomes deadly. Sasha makes several mistakes and daytime is smashed to smithereens, throwing the world into an eternal night of horrors. To save himself, Sasha ventures into a world of no shapes, inhabited by tormenting vampires, seductive lesbians and demons lurking in every shadow, bringing death and obliteration in their path.
