The official synopsis reads:
When an overzealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far - his brane explodes. Thats “brane” not “brain” - but that means someone has to sort out the mess he has created. Our hero Corey Harlan is sent in - kicking and screaming - to find the heart of the brane and its creator Anton Chambers. Now manifested as a normal townhouse hosted by the enigmatic and multi-dimensional Aclima – his adventure begins. A house where opening a door from one room to another can lead you to other worlds not just the kitchen.
