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