A metafictional psychological thriller where a screenwriter's paranoia deepens as his fictional narrative appears to manifest in reality, collapsing the boundary between imagination and lived experience.

Screenwriter Daniel Feeld experiences bizarre coincidences as his screenplay—about a karaoke bar, an employee named Sandra, and her murder by Arthur 'Pig' Mallion—seems to mirror reality, with a karaoke bar, an employee named Sandra, and a shady owner named Mallion.
