A dark thriller that blurs the line between performance and reality, using internet voyeurism and serial killer mythology to explore paranoia and the question of what's genuine versus staged.

While indulging his appetite for the grim and gruesome by patronizing a voyeuristic Web site that's based in a house where a serial killer once lived, a hearing-impaired boy begins to suspect that the site's violence is more than just make-believe.
