The Village That Dreamed Itself to Death

Life Force – Season 1

The children pick up a sudden nearby distress signal from the small Loppergarth Island on their boat. Responding to the call, they sail out to find its village completely deserted with no apparent population living there, save for Gemma, a disturbed, sleep-deprived ten-year-old girl who is constantly running around the streets and erratically scrawling a strange, recurring anarchy symbol-like drawing, following one whole week of compulsively attempting to keep herself awake.
