Producer Jill Bennett presents a taut and timely psychological thriller that Lisa Rose of Queer Screen says is "unlike anything else [she's] seen in years."

Digital artist Lex Carre (Lauren Neal) documents her struggle with anxiety through work that she posts anonymously online. Her pieces capture the attention of cunning curator Andrea Caulfield (Erin Matthews), who offers mentorship in exchange for control of Lex’s career.

When Lex’s mental health starts to spiral from the pressure, Andrea assumes ownership of her work—prompting Lex to plot a psychological showdown against the exploitative mentor who stole her art and nearly destroyed her mind.

This searing examination of art and identity in contemporary society also features Joy Sunday (Netflix's "Wednesday"), Pam Trotter ("Abbott Elementary"), and Emmy Award-winner Jenelle Riley.

Content warnings: suicide, self-harm, mental health.
