PlotJake Scully, a struggling actor with a recent bout of claustrophobia, finds himself house-sitting for a wealthy acquaintance in a luxurious home in the hills. While there, he becomes entranced by a beautiful woman named Gloria, whom he watches through a telescope every night as she performs a seductive dance. His innocent voyeurism turns into something darker when he witnesses what he believes is her brutal murder. Disturbingly obsessed, Jake decides to investigate the incident on his own, delving into Gloria’s life and the people around her in an attempt to uncover the truth.
Jake's investigation leads him into the seedy world of adult filmmaking, where he encounters Holly Body, an actress who bears a striking resemblance to Gloria. Through Holly, Jake discovers shocking connections and deceitful plans that twist his reality and plunge him deeper into danger. Unraveling layers of deception and betrayal, Jake must confront his deepest fears and navigate a web of intrigue in order to redeem himself and bring the true culprits to justice. As he ventures further down this perilous path, he learns startling truths that blur the lines between reality and illusion.
