Here's the plot: Spoiler: Cobb was arrested for killing his wife and admitted to a mental hospital where Ariadne was his psychotherapist. She places him into a dream that coaxes him to do an inception, making him feel comfortable and in control while she performs an inception on him at the same time. In the end, he releases himself from the guilt of his wife's death, but we never get to see real reality.
Evidence:
"Reality" is still surreal. Chase scenes, kids didn't age, top didn't stop spinning, Saito conveniently buying an airline to accomplish a task, etc.
Ariadne is not her real name. Ariadne is the name of the girl in Greek mythology who leads Theseus out of the labyrinth.
The "combination" is actually his prisoner number.
With all that said, I'm not sold on the mind's ability to speed up to 10x10x10x10x10 and still process things coherently.
