A caustic, psychologically fractured satire of Hollywood narcissism and family pathology, where damaged people inflict damage on one another in pursuit of hollow validation.

Driven by an intense need for fame and validation, members of a dysfunctional Hollywood family chase celebrity, one another, and the relentless ghosts of their pasts. Their fragile ecosystem is disrupted by the arrival of Agatha, the scarred and estranged pyromaniac daughter.
