Toby is awakened by a strange banging sound in his living room. When he tries to turn on the light, it does not work. He lights a candle and investigates the noise, walking through his house into the study. There, he snorts a line of powder from a plastic pouch. He is then alerted again by the noise and grabs a coat, pen and notepad before running outside. He runs through the driveway and field, falling to the ground. After getting up, he writes down ideas in his notepad while continuing to hear the strange noise.
