Katie, a freelance video editor in desperate need of work, receives a high-paying offer from an anonymous employer to edit a bizarre and enigmatic video. Short of money and facing eviction, Katie eagerly accepts the job. The video shows people being tortured and even killed on camera—surely just an elaborately staged fiction. But when her first job leads to even more lucrative work and more realistic and disturbing snuff films, Katie’s life begins to unravel. Strange figures in her apartment, horrific nightmares that keep her awake, and a mysterious illness afflicting her cat. It’s only when Katie finally decides to quit that she discovers just how cruel her anonymous employer really is, and the lengths she’ll go to get out of her contract.
