"Wake Up" tells the story of Emilia, whose world came to a standstill two years ago when her sister Clara fell into a coma following a severe skiing accident. When Emilia participates in a study on anxiety therapy conducted by nanobot researcher Hevi Abdel, something unforeseen happens: Hevi’s consciousness briefly migrates into Emilia’s body. For Emilia, this research becomes her last hope of bringing her sister back to life.
