After years of struggling to find work, Price, an aspiring actor, finally has a chance at a breakout role in a feature film.
He lands a role in a psychological thriller helmed by
once accomplished indie film director, Steinbeck. Determined to earn Steinbeck's respect, Price gives it his all in his performance as an unhinged axe murderer named Dennis.
But after a take, Steinbeck praises Price's white co-star's less-than-stellar performance and ignores Price. When the film day ends, Steinbeck threatens to replace Price if he doesn’t method act to deliver the right performance. Emboldened by this threat, Price puts himself through increasingly disturbing physical and emotional transformations to become Dennis.
The more Price punishes himself, the more he loses his grip on reality. His descent into madness inevitably manifests Dennis, who lures Price to a horrific fate.
