Joe Morris dreamed of producing the ultimate reality TV contest -- one that would push people to their absolute limits. His creation -- a game called 'Isolation' -- involves placing contestants in an empty room where they sit, alone, and do nothing. The show, which becomes a worldwide sensation, includes ten offbeat contestants who sit for years, in hopes of winning the ten million dollar prize. In a society of endless distractions such as cell phones, instant messaging and video games, Ultimate Reality asks the ultimate question -- how long could you survive in complete and total 'isolation'?

As the man opens up to the bartender over many rounds, the bartender - who is battling demons of his own - begins to wonder if the man is merely a victim of circumstance... or if he's hiding a much darker secret.
