A man decides to spend the night on a lake in a zorb ball, a large inflatable ball that he can enter but not exit from the inside. He prepares by packing a sleeping bag, rope, knife, and other supplies, and has his parents stay nearby to assist him in case of an emergency. He gets into the zorb ball and has his parents blow it up with a leaf blower. Throughout the night, he faces challenges such as running low on oxygen, getting seasick, and dealing with a fly that somehow got into the ball with him. Despite these challenges, he finds the experience to be surprisingly comfortable and enjoyable. He gets regular air refills from his parents and eventually falls asleep. In the morning, he watches the sunrise and sees fish and ducks swimming in the lake. After completing his 12-hour challenge, he exits the zorb ball and is greeted with fresh air and a humorous comment from his mom about the smell inside the ball.
