Katie, a freelance video editor in dire need of work, receives a high-paying offer from an anonymous employer to edit a mysterious and bizarre music video. Katie, in need of money and facing eviction, eagerly accepts the gig. The video features people being tortured and even murdered on camera – it’s surely just a carefully staged fiction. But when her first job leads to even more lucrative work and far more realistic snuff films, Katie’s life begins to unravel. Strange figures in her apartment, terrifying nightmares that keep her awake, and a mysterious illness afflicting her cat. It’s only when Katie finally decides to quit her job that she learns just how cruel her anonymous employer really is and how hard she’ll work to get out of the contract.
