A tense, paranoia-soaked thriller that uses the collision of an aging actor and a Vietnam-era sniper to interrogate violence, celebrity, and the fragility of safety in modern America.

An aging horror-movie icon's fate intersects with that of a seemingly ordinary young man on a psychotic shooting spree around Los Angeles.
