Synopsis

"Tomorrow is just yesterday but slightly worse."
If asked about life from Eli, that would be his general response: same transit, same job, same patterns for years. He's found a rhythm that works for him, even if it brings him no joy; he has stability, and he tells himself that's worth something.

However he soon finds that his common days are being invaded by something, his 'usual' has become 'unusual,' and unless he can find out who or what is changing his boring everyday life, he may not have it for much longer.
