A dark, psychologically tense portrait of obsession and isolation in the digital age, where fantasy and reality dangerously blur for a man unmoored by grief.

Jack is an internet gambler living in NYC. After the death of his roommate, he becomes fixated on Scarlet - a cam girl from San Francisco. His obsession reaches a boiling point when fantasy materializes in reality and Jack sees Scarlet on a rainy NYC Chinatown street.
