The {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} is given orders to find a lost [[Starfleet]] [[starship|vessel]], the {{USS|Brittain}}. They come upon the ship adrift in a [[binary star system]]. Beaming on board, an [[away team]] finds the entire crew murdered, except for a [[Betazoid]], [[Andrus Hagan]], the ''Brittain''{{'}}s scientific advisor who is [[catatonia|catatonic]].

Soon after encountering the disturbing scene on board the ''Brittain'', the ''Enterprise'' crew begins to experience her own problems, marked by an inexplicable increase in irritability and fatigue. Counselor Deanna Troi tries to reach the mind of the surviving (but catatonic) Hagan, while [[Data]], [[Geordi La Forge]] and [[Commander]] [[William T. Riker|Riker]] unsuccessfully try to figure out the engine malfunctions aboard the ''Brittain''.

[[Doctor]] [[Beverly Crusher]] reports to [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]], telling him that there is no indication of a psychological or physiological disease based on the autopsies of the crew, leaving the growing madness on board the ''Brittain'', as detailed in the last log entry of Captain [[Chantal Zaheva]], unexplained. She had her [[first officer]], Commander [[Brink]] "eliminated".

She had her [[first officer]], Commander [[Brink]] "eliminated".
In the meantime, Counselor Troi has entered a rather intense dream. Spoken to by an unidentified voice, she asks the speaker "Where are you?". The voice repeats the phrases "eyes in the dark" and "one moon circles," as Troi is drawn toward two lights that are reminiscent of the binary star system in which the ''Enterprise'' is currently stationed.

On the ''Brittain'', La Forge has to reassure a crewman who apparently heard some noises when no one was there, acknowledging that the 34 dead people found aboard would make anyone uneasy. And on the ''Enterprise'', conflict is spreading all over the ship; when [[Keiko O'Brien]] enters the O'Briens' quarters, she and [[Miles O'Brien|Miles]] quarrel, during which Miles displays a great deal of envy towards one of his wife's co-workers, [[Tom Corbin]]. Miles leaves their quarters and enters [[Ten Forward]], where he is warned by [[Chief]] [[Gillespie]] about the current events. O'Brien brushes the warning off, dismissing it as "ghost stories". In the meantime, Picard is in his ready room when the door chimes. He says, "Come," several times but no one enters, and yet the chimes repeat. He finally goes to the door and sees no one there. The door continues to chime and finally someone knocks. At the door are Troi and Crusher. They say that the occurrences of violence aboard the ''Enterprise'' are continuing to escalate so they must leave before what happened to the ''Brittain'' happens to them. Captain Picard gives the order for the ship to retreat to a safe distance from the ''Brittain'', only to find that all energy expended by the ship's engines is drained by the anomaly, rendering the ship unable to move.

The crew realizes that it is actually trapped inside a [[space-time]] anomaly known as a [[Tyken's Rift]], named after a [[Melthusian]] named [[Bela Tyken]] who had escaped a similar rift by detonating his cargo of [[anicium]] and [[yurium]]. The ''Enterprise'', after being adrift for 10 days, begins to mirror the state aboard the ''Brittain'' shortly before her crew succumbed to insanity and became violent. Picard and Riker talk in the [[turbolift]] while going to the Bridge and Riker says that sometimes he feels like someone is in his quarters, waiting for him. Picard relieves Riker for a few hours, telling him to get a nap. Riker obeys but as soon as he leaves and the door shuts, Picard thinks the turbolift ceiling is coming down on him. The door opens and the crew see him screaming. It's only a hallucination, but it's enough to make him feel that he needs Data for their continued survival while they try to find a solution to leave the Tyken's rift.

With minimal energy reserves and no clear means of escape, Dr. Crusher hypothesizes that the rampant outbreaks of violence aboard both ships are due to lack of rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, leading to fatigue, loss of concentration, extreme irritability, hostility and ultimately, insanity. However, this is not being caused by the Tyken's Rift. Crusher noted that Troi can sleep, and Troi notes that she is the only person aboard the ship who continues to be able to dream, perhaps due to her unique telepathic abilities, but that all of her dreams are [[nightmare]]s.

Data then assumes the role of acting captain of the ''Enterprise'', ejecting the hydrogen into the space immediately in front of the ship through the [[Bussard collector]]s while Troi attempts to communicate their actions to the unknown beings in a dream.

Just after there is no longer sufficient power to maintain the hydrogen stream leaving the Bussard collectors, an explosion erupts in front of the ship, indicating that Troi was successful. Another alien vessel was apparently trapped inside the rift, and used telepathy to communicate with Troi. It was this telepathy that somehow prevented the crew of the ''Enterprise'' from entering REM sleep. Power and life support are restored to normal, allowing the ''Enterprise'' and the alien vessel to escape the rift, although the ''Brittain'' is apparently left behind. As his last duty as acting captain, Data orders Picard and the rest of the crew to their quarters to sleep. Data leads the ''Enterprise'' to [[Starbase 220]].
