Storyline
Chase Lowry is a struggling actor watching his career slip away while others around him rise to stardom. When his close friend, the newly famous Vinny Monroe, mysteriously vanishes in the wake of a lavish party at a secluded estate in the Hollywood Hills, Chase arrives to search for him. What begins as a simple hunt for a missing friend soon curdles into a waking nightmare, as Chase roams the eerie, emptied mansion, piecing together scattered clues and unsettling fragments left behind by the night's guests. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers about the partygoers and the disturbing price they have paid to cling to fame and the limelight. Told through haunting cinematic sequences and a fractured, unnerving narrative, this is a psychological descent into the dark underbelly of the entertainment world, where ambition, desperation, and celebrity conceal secrets far more sinister than anyone dared imagine.Read more
