We are in future, a new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. The DC Mini machine allows to enter the dreams of the patients, to record them and scan the deepest and subconscious thoughts. While this treatment is still in the process of experiment, a DC Mini prototype is stolen, which created a turmoil of panic among the scientists who developed this revolutionary machine. If such invention happens to be in the hands of wrong people, devastating results might occur. Dr Atsuko Chiba is a colleague of Dr Tokita, the inventor of the DC Mini. He decides to disguise himself as Paprika, his female forward alter ego, and ventures in the world of dreams to find out who stole DC Mini and for what reasons. Paprika discovers that Himuro, Dr Tokita's assistant, has disappeared...
