When acclaimed actor Jack Mikkelsen is cast opposite rising actress Alana Browning what begins as quiet connection behind the scenes slowly turns into something far more unstable.
She is young, fragile and carrying a lifetime of psychological fractures.
He is older, controlled and trying to keep his life intact.
But intimacy turns into dependency.
Dependency turns into obsession.
And soon neither of them can tell where love ends and destruction begins.
A dark psychological romance about obsession, power and two people who were never safe together but couldn't stay apart.
